Together with his joint committees, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump raised $90 million in August, according to a CNN report.

Trump’s fundraising total represents a $10 million increase from his July total but still trailed far behind Hillary Clinton, who raise $143 million in August with the Democratic National Committee and state parties.


Despite its size relative to Clinton’s haul, Trump’s $90 million August is impressive given how recently the GOP nominee’s campaign has pulled together a fundraising operation. The Manhattan billionaire’s ability to raise money was a source of much skepticism early on in the campaign, but he has quickly ramped up his fundraising, assuaging some of those concerns.

A Trump campaign official told CNN that much of the $90 million in donations is expected to come from small donations, the result of the campaign’s decision to invest in digital fundraising tools.

The campaign did not release how much cash it has on hand, a number that will be revealed in Federal Election Commission filings expected later this month.
