The Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee, and associated join committees announced that President Donald Trump’s final debate against Democratic nominee Joe Biden yielded a record fundraising haul from supporters, contributing to the “largest digital fundraising day ever” for the president’s re-election effort.

The digital fundraising haul around the presidential debate surpassed $26 million, over 30% more than funds raised around the first presidential debate back in late September, according to a statement from the campaign on Friday. Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, attributed the fundraising haul to Trump’s debate performance, which she said “motivated supporters to contribute in a historic way.”
