    The 58th US quadrennial US President elections will take place on 8 November 2016. The presumptive presidential nominee from Democratic and Republican Parties are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump respectively. The recent polls display Ms. Clinton leading Mr. Trump.

In contrast to Trump's campaigning failures, Clinton had reserved nearly $21m for television advertisements. Clinton is also backed with donations invested by major allies, including Democratic National Committee and Political Action Committee.

    In May, roughly 20% of Trump's expenditures were incurred over his own companies. The total outlay of his fundraising costs somewhere around $46m, raised through loans. After rising controversies over racially charged remarks,Trump fired his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, months before the elections. Trump's campaign failed to air any television advertisement post his win in May.

In contrast, only 40% voters support the self-proclaimed billionaire Donald Trump. While Trump leads the support of men and white voters, Ms. Clinton has drawn 57 % support of the female voters and 72% support of the minority voters.

    A ray of hope for Trump supporters

    Fund-raisers for Trump have decided to join efforts with the Republican National Committee, in an attempt to raise upto $500 million or $100 million every month from June to October.
