Trump campaign fundraising slows for 2nd month in a row

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."

Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign and the Democratic National Committee on Monday said they raised $60 million in April. The average donation was $32.63, "showing continued grassroots strength even in this time of crisis," the campaign said. Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee.
