Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir said Sanders also transferred about $6 million from prior campaign accounts during the second quarter fundraising period. President Trump’s campaign said Tuesday that along with affiliated committees, it raised $54 million in the second quarter. The Republican National Committee, which is helping his reelection effort, brought in $51 million, according to the Trump campaign. But the Sanders campaign has struggled to keep that early momentum going. Sanders also plans to travel to South Carolina in the near future, according to Jeff Weaver, a senior adviser on the Sanders campaign.
