WASHINGTON: Donald Trump raised $1.7 million from do**rs and loaned his White House campaign $7.5 million in April as he moved closer to becoming the Republican **minee for president, according to documents filed with the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Friday.
The New York businessman had loaned his campaign a total of $43.5 million as of the end of April, the filings showed.
More recently, he has made moves to build up his fundraising operation with an eye toward the **v 8 general election. Trump became the Republican Party’s presumptive **minee in early May, when both of his rivals dropped out of the race.
Trump self-funded much of his primary run, but he has said he will **t rely as heavily on his own money for the general election, when he will face the Democratic **minee.
Both people seeking the Democratic **mination have raised more than Trump.
Hillary Clinton, the party’s front-runner, brought in $26.4 million in April, including funds from a joint fundraising effort with the Democratic Party.
An outside Super PAC supporting her campaign raised $8.6 million.
A Super PAC is a fund-raising group that must operate separate from political campaigns but can raise unlimited sums.
US Senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s rival for the Democratic **mination, raised $26.9 million in April.
He has disavowed Super PACs.
Trump has criticised them too, though a long-time Republican operative in May joined one Super PAC backing the real estate mogul.
In May, Trump hired investor Steven Mnuchin as his national finance chairman and entered a joint fundraising deal with the Republican National Committee that will allow do**rs to write much bigger checks.
