U.S. President Donald Trump is not just falling behind Joe Biden, the candidate of the Democrats in the polls, he is also way behind in campaign cash race.

According to Reuters, Trump’s re-election coffers shrank in September, putting him at a disadvantage in the final weeks before the Nov. 3 election.

In a financial disclosure filed on Tuesday night with the Federal Election Commission, the Trump campaign said it had about $63 million in the bank at the end of September after spending about $139 million that month.

A month earlier, the Trump campaign reported having $121 million in cash.

Biden’s campaign has yet to report its cash holdings at the close of September.
