Former President Donald Trump’s political committees raised $50.5 million in the first half of the year, and ended June with $101.9 million in the bank, according their latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.

His post-presidential political finances also benefited from a little more than $31 million he raised last year after losing the 2020 election, when he claimed he needed the money to contest the results. Trump’s campaign spent just $8.6 million challenging the results.
