The Biden campaign and Democratic National Committee announced last week that they had brought in an unprecedented $364.5 million in August. A senior Trump campaign official told Fox News on Wednesday that the campaign, all told, has raised more than $1.3 billion since the beginning. With Vice President Pence remaining as the president’s running mate, the Trump campaign could not leverage that type of surprise announcement for a fundraising boost. “We had the better candidate, the better message, and better grassroots enthusiasm then, just like we do now,” the official told Fox News. The senior Trump campaign official downplayed Biden's gains.
