President Trump has a fundraising feat of his own to share.
Together with the Republican National Committee, the Trump campaign raised a whopping $125 million in the third fundraising quarter of 2019, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale announced Tuesday. That's significantly more than Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vt.) recordbreaking haul, and could even beat the combined total raised by all the 2020 Democrats in the past three months.

Yet even combined, those dollars don't come near the Trump total. It's not clear just yet how much of that money came from general RNC donations and how much went right to the Trump campaign, but it does leave Trump with a massive $156 million war chest of cash on hand, Parscale tweeted.
Still, there's no telling the 2020 Democrats' combined third-quarter fundraising total just yet, seeing as the top two contenders, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have yet to reveal their Q3 hauls.
