While he is still bringing in a hefty amount of money, President Trump's fundraising pace slowed down for the second straight month, with his re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee announcing on Monday they raised more than $61.7 million in April.

The campaign raised $86 million in February and $63 million in March. Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign manager, said in a statement the April fundraising is proof Trump's "consistent record of unprecedented action is met with overwhelming enthusiasm and support."
