Trump campaign says it raised $160M in September, mostly from small donors

• Both campaigns and their political action committees have ramped up spending as the tight race enters its final weeks, though new data from analytics platform AdImpact indicates that Democrats have outspent Republicans in seven battleground states since Biden dropped out.

By the numbers: Trump's campaign said it ended the month with $283 million cash on hand following its fundraising haul with the Republican Party and authorized committees —  with 96% of donations being under $200.

What they're saying: "In September, nearly 2.5 million donations under $200 were made," said Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes in a statement.

• "These supporters have allowed us to bank the funds we need as we move into the campaign's final weeks. Our momentum continues to grow from supporters and donors across the country as we enter the homestretch toward victory."
