(Reuters) - President Donald Trump's re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee said on Monday they jointly raised $61.7 million (£50.1 million) in April, just beating the month's haul for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his party.

A Trump campaign statement said the April sum was a record, bringing total cash on hand to $255 million. Biden said earlier in the day that his campaign and the Democratic National Committee raised $60.5 million combined in April.
