Team Trump and the RNC had a huge fundraising month that will hopefully put to rest any doubts about the new RNC leadership and Donald Trump’s ability to grow the war chest.
From Politico:
The figure — which covers a number of fundraising vehicles that will all have to disclose their activities to the Federal Election Commission later this month — outpaces the $62 million that Trump raised in March 2020, when he was running for reelection.
Biden’s political operation has yet to announce its March fundraising haul, though it has said it raised $25 million during a New York City fundraiser last week that was attended by Biden and former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. In February, Biden and the Democratic National Committee raised $53 million, Biden’s campaign said, and ended the month with $155 million on hand.
The former president is all but certain to be at a cash disadvantage against Biden, Trump advisers concede. Still, Trump is moving aggressively to close the gap. He has been courting major donors at his Mar-a-Lago club and on Saturday is set to host a major fundraiser in Palm Beach, Fla. that aides say will net more than $40 million. The event is being hosted by investor John Paulson and co-chaired by aerospace executive Robert Bigelow, casino billionaire Steve Wynn and hedge fund manager Robert Mercer.
New RNC co-chair Lara Trump shared news of the massive haul on X, saying “YUGE things happening at the RNC.”
