Trump campaign has unrivalled funds before US election

President Donald Trump's re-election campaign is set to report that it raised more than $30m in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined, according to The Associated Press news agency. The haul brings the campaign's cash-on-hand to $40.8m, an unprecedented war chest for an incumbent president this early in a campaign. The Trump campaign said nearly 99 percent of its donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26. Trump's fundraising ability was matched by the Republican National Committee, which brought in $45.8m in the first quarter - its best non-election year total. Combined, the pro-Trump effort is reporting $82m in the bank, with $40.8m belonging to the campaign alone.
