"President Donald J. Trump is not only winning across every battleground state, but we are raising the resources necessary to deliver a victory in November," Trump campaign senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a statement Saturday that announced the April haul.
"With half of funds raised coming from small dollar donors, it is clear that our base is energized. The Republican Party is united, and voters nationwide are ready to FIRE Joe Biden and elect President Donald J. Trump," they added.

"Our team will continue working every day to exceed expectations, raise the funds we need, and build an unmatched party infrastructure to prove that President Trump’s momentum is unstoppable," RNC chair Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump added in the statement.
Whatley, the former North Carolina GOP chair, and Lara Trump, the former president's daughter-in-law, were installed as the new RNC leadership by Trump in early March as he effectively took over control of the party after clinching the nomination.

The RNC spring retreat provided a brief break for Trump from his criminal trial in New York City. The former president is being tried on nearly three-dozen state felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records in relation to hush-money payments during the 2016 election he made to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his alleged affair with the adult film actress.
Trump has repeatedly denied falsifying business records as well as the alleged sexual encounter with Daniels.
