Obama Re-Election Campaign Raises $86 Million

President Obama’s re-election campaign, Obama for America (OFA), announced Wednesday morning that they raised over $86 million in the year’s second fundraising quarter.

In a video sent to supporters, Campaign Manager Jim Messina said that the second quarter financial report will be given to the Federal Election Commission this Friday.

According to the campaign, the money was raised via a partnership with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Obama Victory Fund (OVF). Of the $86 million, OFA raised $47 million and the DNC raised $38 million.

“We did this from the bottom up,” Messina said in the video statement. “We didn’t accept one single dollar from lobbyists or special interest PACs [Political Action Committees].”

Messina noted the average donation was around $68.
