The Democratic National Committee raised $8.6 million in June and has collected more than $50 million so far this year, marking its strongest grassroots fundraising performance for the month of June in any off-year cycle, the party said Monday.

The DNC’s filings with the Federal Election Commission come at the same time the Republican National Committee’s filings show they brought in $16.2 million in June and ended the month with more than $80 million in cash on hand—more than five times the DNC’s balance of $15.2 million.
