NEWS: Joe Biden entered September with nearly half-a-billion dollars in the bank — and $141 million more than President Trump.

Trump + joint RNC operations = $325 million

The Trump reelection committee itself filed just moments ago (again, there is also RNC + joint ops, which will not file tonight):
Total August receipts: $61.7 million
Total spend: $61.2 million
Debts: 900k
Cash on hand: $121 million
