More recently, he has made moves to build up his fundraising operation with an eye toward the Nov. 8 general election.Trump became the Republican Party's presumptive nominee in early May, when both of his rivals dropped out of the race. Trump self-funded much of his primary run, but he has said he will not rely as heavily on his own money for the general election, when he will face the Democratic nominee.Both people seeking the Democratic nomination have raised more than Trump.
