(CNN) President Donald Trump's fundraising neared $130 million during the first two years of his presidency, as he readies for what will be a costly re-election battle in 2020, figures released Thursday by his campaign indicate. Trump's campaign, along with the joint fundraising committees he operates with the Republican National Committee, took in a combined $21 million during the last three months of 2018, campaign officials said Thursday night. That's on top of $106 million these groups had raised through the end of October. Trump, who filed for re-election on the day of his inauguration in January 2017, has set an unprecedented fundraising pace. Campaign officials say contributions of $200 or less are helping to fuel the re-election effort.
