Trump's Campaign Stockpile Totals $42 Million in First Quarter

More than $42 million has poured into President Donald Trump's campaign coffers and the Republican National Committee since January — twice the amount raised for former President Barack Obama following the 2008 election, The Washington Post reported.

According to Federal Election Commission filings and party officials, much of the $42.6 million came from small donors who gave less than $200 in email solicitations, the Post reported.

More than 250,000 new contributors have given online to Trump's campaign committee or the RNC so far this year.

The haul is more than twice the $15.8 million Obama raised in conjunction with the Democratic National Committee during the first quarter of 2009.
