As Democrat presidential candidates report their first-quarter fundraising numbers, the Trump campaign is providing its own.
The president’s reelection campaign told the Associated Press Sunday it raised more than $30 million in the first-quarter of 2019.

The Republican National Committee also raised $45 million, bringing the total cash-on-hand for the reelection effort to $82 million.
The number towers over the two million dollars the Obama campaign had at this same time during his 2012 campaign.
As far as 2020 goes, the president’s quarter one earnings are more than the top two Democrat candidates — Bernie Sanders and Beto O’Rourke — combined.
