RNC’s $57M fall haul includes record Sept.

The Republican National Committee raised $56.8 million in the third quarter of 2018, including $26.2 million in September — a record amount for a single month in a nonpresidential election year, according to a new report.

The RNC’s third-quarter total is about 35 percent higher than the $41.5 million the party raised in the second quarter — and its total haul this cycle amounts to $269.9 million, Politico reported.

Republicans fighting to save their congressional majorities are sure to wel- come the strong results amid anxiety that they are being overwhelmed by Democratic money in House races.

The RNC brought in an extra $12 million as a result of 175,000 new online donors, the news outlet reported.

RNC officials attributed the fundraising spike to the party’s network of 200,000 volunteers spread across 28 states.

Meanwhile, President Trump enjoyed an unprecedented $18 million fundraising haul from July to September via his own re- elect operation and an ongoing joint effort with the GOP.

According to Federal Election Commission filings released Monday, his campaign raised more than $106 million by Sept. 30. In 2010, former President Barack Obama took in $4.1 million as of Dec. 31 that year.

The Democratic National Committee, which has yet to release its third-quarter numbers, has lagged behind the GOP all year. It raised about $116 million from the start of the year through the previous quarter, its last report said.
