Trump's fundraising, up from $US61.7 million in April, comes as the president is set to hold his first major campaign event since the coronavirus pandemic shut down most campaigning with a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday.
Former Vice President Biden has stepped up fundraising in recent months since becoming the Democratic Party's defacto nominee for the November 3 presidential election.
He has also built a lead over Trump in national opinion polls amid the twin crises of the coronavirus pandemic and civil unrest over police brutality in many US cities.
In May, Biden and the Democratic National Committee raised $US80.8 million, their largest single month of fundraising.
Trump, however, continued to have a cash advantage over Biden, according to disclosures filed separately by the two campaigns on Saturday.
