The immense figures give Trump a strong financial advantage over Democrats, whose donors are more splintered as the party sorts out a crowded primary field. In contrast to Trump, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders outpaced Democrats when he raised $25 million in January. Trump's reelection organization has fundraised more aggressively than any previous presidential reelection campaign at this stage, allowing the campaign to spend early on advertising and field efforts months before Democrats pick their nominee.

Within hours of the fundraising announcement, the President left the White House to visit his campaign staff and RNC officials at the campaign's headquarters in Rosslyn, Virginia -- the first time Trump has crossed the river into Virginia to visit the campaign's offices there.
