WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on Republican Donald Trump's presidential campaign (all times local):

7:10 a.m.

Presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is brushing aside questions about a large cash-on-hand disparity with Democrat Hillary Clinton while complaining he isn't getting enough support in his own party.

Trump tells NBC's "Today" show he's "having more difficulty with some people in the party than I have with Democrats."

Together, Trump and the Republican National Committee brought in about $18.6 million in May, including another loan from the candidate. Clinton and the Democratic National Committee raised more than double that. His campaign started June with $1.3 million in the bank; hers, with $42 million.

Asked about this Tuesday, Trump that "I understand money better than anybody and I understand it way better than Hillary."

"I've raised a lot of money but you also have to have some help from the party," he said.

Trump said he spent $55 million of "my own money" during the primary season and said he may do it again in the general election, "but it would be nice to have some help from the party." He said Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus "has been terrific" but he needs more help from other GOP leaders.

"I can just go my own route," he said on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends."

Donald Trump's decision to fire his embattled campaign manager less than a month before the Republican convention sent a powerful signal to weary GOP leaders that the billionaire businessman recognizes the increasingly dire state of his presidential campaign.

Now, his party is looking for him to quickly implement other changes to mount a credible challenge to Hillary Clinton.

Many Republicans feel he has squandered the precious weeks since locking up the nomination. On the campaign trail, he appears stuck in a primary campaign he's already won.

Aides hope Lewandowski's departure will bring an end to the infighting that has plagued the campaign since Trump hired strategist Paul Manafort in March to help secure delegates ahead of the convention. Since then, the campaign's rival factions have been jockeying for power.
