The Trump campaign is looking at a YUGE weekend…
According to an Axios report, Donald Trump is preparing a Palm Beach fundraiser this weekend that is expected to dwarf Joe Biden’s recent Radio City celeb fest.
Biden took in $26 million; Trump is expected to draw $43 million.
From Axios:
Trump’s “Inaugural Leadership Dinner,” led by hedge-fund billionaire John Paulson, tops out at a “Chairman level” of $824,600, which includes “dinner seating at President Trump’s table.”
How it works: Sources tell us the eye-popping total was achieved with personal phone calls by Trump, “peer-to-peer asks” (in this case, some literal billionaire-to-billionaire conversations) and a persuasive deck about the electoral outlook by campaign co-manager Susie Wiles.
The other side: A source involved in Biden’s fundraising operation was skeptical of the total being touted for Saturday’s event, saying that “getting everyone to max out in April” is “not a sustainable way to fund a campaign.”
Team Trump also had a huge March, bringing in more than $65 million dollars under new RNC leadership, including co-chair Lara Trump.
SCOOP: Trump is on track to raise $43M at a Palm Beach fundraiser this weekend. That would eclipse Biden's $26M haul last week, which was billed as historic. https://t.co/BPnYr5F7Qp
