In a significant display of financial support, former President Donald Trump's campaign and affiliated groups reported raising an impressive $138.7 million in July 2024. This substantial haul, however, fell short of Vice President Kamala Harris' fundraising achievements, which saw her campaign amass over $310 million during the same period.
Trump's campaign attributes much of its fundraising success to small-dollar donations, with the Trump National Committee raising $69 million from donors contributing less than $200. Another notable source of funding was the Trump Save America committee, which secured $28 million, including $11.7 million from small donors.

The former president's legal battles have been a significant driver of his fundraising efforts. His conviction in New York notably spurred a surge in donations, marking the best fundraising days for Trump National Committee, particularly from donors giving at least $200.
Trump's financial boost is crucial as he gears up for the 2024 election, aiming to reclaim the presidency. The Republican National Committee (RNC) has also benefited, receiving over $67 million from the Trump 47 Committee, which supports the RNC, Trump’s campaign, and various state parties. This collaboration has been instrumental in narrowing the financial gap between the RNC and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Despite this strong showing, the Trump campaign faces a formidable challenge from the Harris campaign. The Vice President's team has demonstrated exceptional fundraising prowess, outpacing Trump significantly in July and showcasing robust support among Democratic donors. Harris' July totals included substantial contributions from small-dollar donors, a testament to her grassroots appeal.
Moreover, Trump’s July fundraising, though impressive, underscores a broader trend of significant financial engagement from high-profile Republican donors. Super PACs like America PAC and Preserve America have attracted large donations, bolstering the financial war chest available for supporting Trump’s candidacy. This influx of funds reflects a readiness among Republican backers to invest heavily in the 2024 election cycle.
While Trump’s financial momentum is noteworthy, the road ahead remains challenging. The Democrats' strong fundraising efforts and organizational capabilities pose a significant hurdle. Nonetheless, Trump’s ability to galvanize support, particularly through small-dollar donations and strategic alliances with super PACs, keeps him in a competitive position as the election season progresses.
In conclusion, Trump's July fundraising achievements highlight both the strength and the challenges of his 2024 campaign. With continued financial support and strategic maneuvers, Trump remains a formidable contender in the race for the White House, despite the formidable competition from the Democratic camp led by Vice President Harris.
