The provisional figures mark a massive improvement since May when the Trump campaign reported having barely more than $1.3 million in cash. The Republican presidential nominee raised $64 million of the new haul through small-dollar donations solicited online and through direct mail, with another $16 million coming from 20 fundraising events hosted by Trump and the party, according to a campaign press release. Trump also gave $2 million of his own money to the campaign as part of a matching program. “Our volunteers and contributors are clearly committed to electing Donald J. Trump as President in November,” said Trump campaign finance chairman Steve Mnuchin in a statement. By contrast, the Hillary Clinton campaign announced Tuesday that it raised $90 million in July for the campaign and the Democratic Party, including $8.7 million that came in the 24 hours after she accepted the nomination. Clinton is expected to hold more fundraisers in August, including one that will [reportedly take place at the home](http://time.com/4434786/leonardo-dicaprio-clinton-fundraiser/) of actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Overall, Clinton is [ahead of Trump on fundraising](http://time.com/4376248/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-fundraising/?xid=homepage), having focused since the primaries on wooing major donors.
