CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who gained popularity partly by bashing wealthy donors and vowing to fund his own campaign, raised nearly as much money in June as the campaign of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to federal reports filed on Wednesday.
In the first month in which the Trump campaign’s fundraising machine officially cranked up, Trump raised nearly $20 million (15 million pounds) from individual donors other than himself, as well as $2 million from donors to his joint fundraising committee with the Republican Party.
