“Donald Trump Vows to Match Up to $2 Million in Donations”

WSJ:

Tuesday’s fundraising email suggests Mr. Trump is unnerved by the substantial financial lead Mrs. Clinton holds over him. But donating up to $2 million next month to his campaign would not be a real departure for Mr. Trump, who loaned his campaign $2.2 million in May.

The Trump campaign also sent a fundraising plea on Saturday, telling supports it faced “an emergency goal of $100,000 to help get our ads on the air.” The email asked for donations by midnight.

Donors can give up to $2,700 to the campaign for the general election.

Mr. Trump on Tuesday released a statement defending his May fundraising, saying that June “represents the first full month of fundraising activity for the campaign.”

He also said that his cash-on-hand figure is irrelevant. “If need be, there could be unlimited ‘cash on hand’ as I would put up my own money, as I have already done through the primaries,” Mr. Trump said. “Our campaign is leaner and more efficient, like our government should be.”
