Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his campaign had raised more than $13 million since his debate the previous evening with Hillary Clinton.
The donations to the GOP presidential nominee’s campaign were made online and after top fundraisers pushed for new donations on Tuesday, he tweeted.

Trump has recently pledged to match donations to his campaign up to $2 million. In a fundraising email sent Tuesday, Donald Trump Jr. indicated his father would match donations up to that amount ahead of a Friday financial disclosure deadline.
The businessman is making a pitch to attract the support of more Republicans as he enters the final weeks of campaigning before November.
Trump trails Clinton in fundraising. His campaign reported raising $90 million in August for his campaign and two joint GOP fundraising committees, compared to $143 million for Clinton and her allies.
