Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee raised more than $100 million in June, surpassing their joint haul from the previous month.

The Associated Press confirmed the figure, citing "two Republican officials." Politico was the first to report the news about Romney's fundraising in June.

In May, Romney and his allies raised more than President Obama and the Democratic National Committee -- about $77 million for the GOP side vs. $60 million for the Democrats.

Rick Wiley, the political director for the RNC, taunted Obama campaign manager Jim Messina in a tweet that "we raised north of $100 million." He joked that Messina and Obama strategist David Axelrod will need some beers tonight.

Obama said in a recent fundraising pitch that he expects to be the "first president in modern history to be outspent in his re-election campaign."
