Washington Examiner quoted Trump 2020 memos in an article saying the campaign wanted to raise $7 million yesterday in order to surpass the initial fundraising numbers of his Democratic challengers. While Trump is still lagging behind his challengers in several public polls, Fox News recently reported that his supposed $24.8 million haul comes after the RNC and their affiliates accumulated around $82 million in their second quarter for his war chest.
