President Donald Trump has topped $100 million in fundraising for his 2020 re-election bid — an enormous haul for a president barely two years into his first term, according to new figures reported by his 2020 campaign. Trump pulled in more than $18 million last quarter through his campaign committee and two joint fundraising committees with the Republican National Committee, for a total of at least $106 million since January 2017, according to his campaign and federal filings. His re-election committee entered October with a stockpile of more than $35 million, the campaign said. Unlike his predecessors, Trump began fundraising for his re-election shortly after his 2016 win. According to his campaign, 98 per cent of the total raised last quarter came from donations of $200 or less.
