The Republican National Committee raised $39.4 million in September, and has promptly transferred $6.35 million of that amount to fund down ballot races, according to a September fundraising release provided to Bloomberg.
The news comes with the party showing signs of division heading into the Nov. 8 elections, particularly after several top Republicans withdrew their support of Trump in light of remarks he made boasting of making unwanted sexual advances on women. Earlier this week, House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, said he would not campaign with Trump and was putting his energy into maintaining a House majority.
