President Donald Trump and the Republican Party raised $76 million during his nominating convention that ended Thursday night, narrowly topping the amount Democrats raised while giving their nomination to Joe Biden.
Biden’s campaign said he raised $70 million during the Democratic National Convention which ran the week before the GOP event. Trump raised his money through his campaign, the Republican National Committee and two fundraising vehicles that benefit both, Trump Victory and Trump Make America Great Again.
