Ron Paul’s presidential campaign will post well over $5 million in fundraising for the third quarter, a campaign spokesman said on Friday, enough for the Republican candidate to comfortably fund his presidential race in the coming months.
“We will well exceed $5 million,” campaign spokesman Jesse Benton said.
That haul would come in well below amounts Republican front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry are expected to have raised for the three months ending on Friday, but it indicates steady support for the Texas congressman.
Paul raised $4.5 million in the second quarter ended in June, compared with Romney’s $18 million.
