WASHINGTON — President Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican Nationwide Committee claimed Monday they had lifted $212 million in the initial three months of 2020, a signal that inspite of a world wide pandemic that has set a halt on large-greenback fund-raising activities, Mr. Trump’s operation has continued to raise dollars at a brisk clip.

The campaign and committee claimed they experienced lifted more than $63 million in March, a month that noticed substantially of the country retreat into quarantine as section of a nationwide energy to mitigate the distribute of the coronavirus, and had a combined $240 million in dollars on hand. The two groups also mentioned they experienced elevated additional than $677 million in whole about the re-election cycle, noting that was $270 million far more than President Barack Obama’s re-election marketing campaign experienced lifted at the exact same place in the 2012 marketing campaign cycle.

“Trump and the R.N.C. are on monitor to have $400 million funds on hand by July 4, an amazingly robust money placement in this political environment,” said Scott W. Reed, a senior political strategist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The robust quarter for a campaign that has been perfectly-funded from the start out served as the most recent reminder of the funds advantage that the incumbent president has about former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic nominee. Mr. Biden faces the very same headwinds as Mr. Trump when it will come to elevating money from huge donors at in-man or woman functions, but has a large funds hole he requirements to shut.

Mr. Biden, who experienced prepared to start consolidating the party’s significant donors powering his marketing campaign just as the virus shut down a lot of the overall economy, has not yet released his very first quarter fund-raising quantities. But a spokesman explained he lifted $33 million in the first 50 percent of March.

Over the earlier thirty day period, the Trump marketing campaign has experienced to pull down significant-greenback, in-human being fund-elevating functions since of the coronavirus. But it has soldiered ahead with its smaller-donor fund-raising gimmicks, hawking “Keep America Great” hats signed by the president and an Easter sale on goods in electronic mail solicitations that make small to no mention of the world-wide pandemic.
