Donald Trump raised a total of $51 million in the last five weeks through the end of June, far surpassing his dismal $3.1 million total from May. Trump brought in more than $26 million for his own campaign through donations from more than 400,000 supporters, 94 percent of whom gave in increments of $200 or less, Politico reports. For the other $25 million, the campaign teamed up with the Republican National Committee. Trump also gave the campaign $3.8 million out of his own pocket.
While Trump's June fundraising totals by far mark his best yet, he still lags behind his likely general election competitor, Hillary Clinton. The presumptive Democratic nominee announced last week that she'd brought in $68.5 million in June.
