Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign announced Tuesday that in conjunction with the Republican National Committee $18 million was raised following Monday night’s debate.

“As a result of Donald Trump’s huge debate win last night, we had a massive fundraising day bringing in more than $18 million. This is a movement to Make America Great Again,” Steven Mnuchin, Trump campaign finance chairman, said in a statement. “We are grateful for the support of millions of Americans across the country. With this kind of energy and generous support behind us, we are going to have President Donald J. Trump in the White House.”

The Trump campaign in their statement split up fundraisers into six separate groups: Team YUUUGE, Team MAGA, Team IRREDEEMABLES, Team DEPLORABLES, Team Trump Digital Fundraising, and Team Trump.

CNN reported that Clinton’s largest single day fundraiser received almost $16 million. Overall, Clinton has raised more than double the amount Trump has.
