Former President Donald Trump raised more than $160 million last month, a haul built almost entirely by small-dollar donations, his campaign announced Wednesday.

The September fundraising totals leave Trump, 78, with $283 million in cash on hand just over a month out from Election Day.

“President Trump continues to inspire millions of everyday Americans to join his America First movement and help fuel the campaign with their hard-earned money,” Trump campaign Senior Advisor Brian Hughes said in a statement.

Nearly 2.5 million donations under $200 were made to the former president in September, amounting to  96% of total contributions, according to the Trump campaign. The average donation amount was $60.

Trump’s team said its September totals “exceeded internal benchmarks.”

“These supporters have allowed us to bank the funds we need as we move into the campaign’s final weeks,” Hughes added. “Our momentum continues to grow from supporters and donors across the country as we enter the homestretch toward victory.”

 

Trump’s September haul was an increase from the $130 million the campaign and its authorized committees raised in August.

The Republican nominee’s war chest is slightly less than the $295 million reported at the end of August, as campaigning has intensified in the final weeks of the 2024 race.

• Vice President Kamala Harris substantially outraised and outspent Donald Trump in August, according to new filings from the Federal Election Commission.
• The Harris campaign raised more than $189 million in August, more than quadruple the $44 million sum that the Trump campaign brought in. 
• Though the Harris campaign also far outspent Trump in August, the vice president ended the month with $404 million in cash on hand, dwarfing Trump’s $295 million war chest to fund the final sprint of the November election.
