We are months away from the general election. But most pundits agree that the primaries are finished. Joe Biden will receive the Democratic Party’s nomination for a second term in the White House. And with all his rivals out, Trump has secured his nomination for a third bid for president.
The GOP is rapidly uniting behind Donald Trump. There seem to be fewer and fewer Republicans who openly oppose a second Trump administration.
This weekend, Trump will be hosting a special event in Palm Beach, Florida. It will show the nation just how behind Trump these Republican donors are. And just after Democrats bragged about Biden’s recent “record,” Trump is about to smash it.
From Axios:
Former President Trump is on track to raise $43 million at a fundraiser in Palm Beach on Saturday, in what many billionaire Republican donors are considering the kickoff for the general election, sources tell Axios…That haul would eclipse the $26 million raised by President Biden last week at his celebrity-studded Radio City Music Hall event, which was billed as the largest fundraiser in political history…
The event will feature former first lady Melania Trump and three of Trump’s former primary opponents — Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.
Donald Trump’s upcoming fundraiser for his presidential campaign is on track to raise $43 million in one night. The event is being organized by big-pocketed billionaires, who are seemingly pulling out all the stops to bring in contributions.
This event will dwarf Biden’s tone-deaf fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall—which was held the same day as a funeral for a slain NYPD officer. That event featured big-name celebrities, as well as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. But it reportedly only brought in $26 million.
Trump’s dinner will be attended by Melania Trump, who has not been as visible in this campaign as she’s been in previous ones. Also attending the dinner will be Sen. Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum—all former rivals of Trump.
Democrats have been bragging that Biden’s fundraising efforts have been crushing Republicans’. They’ve even sent out an email claiming Trump was “broke” and hiding in his basement. But it seems those claims are turning out to be untrue, like most of the attacks Democrats make against Trump.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump is on track to raise $43 million in one night at a fundraiser in Palm Beach.
- This will crush Biden’s Radio City Music Hall event, which raised $26 million.
- The Trump campaign fundraiser is being put on by billionaire Republican donors.
