It could be dubbed the 'Trump Bump,' but the Republican National Committee is reporting a record fundraising number this January – $19.8 million.

The Daily Caller first reported the number, which shows that Trump's election and first weeks in office have motivated his base to give.

It marks the best post-election haul in RNC history.

'I am encouraged by the historic support shown by Americans across the country as our Party unites under President Trump,' RNC chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel said to the Daily Caller.

'It is clear our message of bringing change to all people is resonating, and I am committed to harnessing this momentum as we continue to build on the successes we earned in 2016,' McDaniel continued.

'The RNC has never been better equipped to champion the Republican agenda and use these resources to grow our majorities in 2018,' she added.

McDaniel is new to the helm of the RNC, being chosen by party officials – and supported by Trump in her bid – the day before the new president was sworn in.

She was voted on unanimously, as the Republican party seems to be moving in lockstep at the committee level, as the more fractured Democrats will be choosing their next leader this weekend in Atlanta, Georgia.

McDaniel has some big shoes to fill.

The RNC under the leadership of chairman Reince Priebus and communications director Sean Spicer recovered from the 2012 presidential election loss by retaining control of the House of Representatives and winning control of the Senate in 2014.

Two years later, the Republicans now control the White House too.

And while keeping the Senate in Republican hands looked to be a challenge in 2016, the GOP was able to do that, keeping their majority by two seats – with the added bonus of having Vice President Mike Pence able to make a tie-breaking vote.

Priebus vacated his position to become White House chief of staff, while Spicer is now President Trump's White House press secretary.

Before becoming the chairwoman of the RNC, McDaniel, the niece of former GOP hopeful Mitt Romney, headed the Michigan Republican party.
