Trump Faces Financial Deficit, Has Only 70 Staffers

HeadlineJun 21, 2016

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has fired his campaign manager and is entering the general election campaign with what The New York Times calls the “worst financial and organizational disadvantage of any major party nominee in recent history.” At the beginning of the month, Trump had just $1.3 million cash on hand, more than $41 million less than Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Clinton has nearly 700 staff members; Trump has about 70. Since May, when he secured the delegates needed to clinch the nomination, Trump’s campaign has not aired a single TV ad, nor has it booked any advertising for the summer or fall. Clinton and her supporters have spent nearly $26 million on advertising this month alone.
