When Joe Biden attended a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York, his campaign claimed he “made history” by bringing in the most cash for a single campaign event. But he upset many New Yorkers by hosting the event on the same day as the funeral for slain NYPD Officer Diller.
Trump had attended the funeral and vowed to end the war against American police officers.
Soon afterward, Trump hosted his own big-ticket fundraiser in Florida. Even before the event was held, his campaign revealed it was on pace to bring in $42 million—surpassing Biden’s event. Now, the results are in—and it turns out Trump humiliated the Democrat.
From Fox News:
Former President Trump’s campaign team says it raised more than $50 million at a Saturday evening’s GOP fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, smashing records for a Republican or Democratic candidate.“It took three Democrat presidents to raise $25 million and one president to raise over $50 million, Donald J. Trump,” campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez boasted…
Biden’s campaign said he raised more than $26 million during a fundraising appearance late last month at New York City’s famed Radio City Music Hall with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Days after Biden bragged about bringing in $25 million from his New York event, Trump brought in nearly double the amount. Democrats had claimed Biden set the record for raising the most money in a single campaign event.
But not even a month passed before Trump smashed the record. Democrats had previously claimed Trump was “broke” and hiding in his basement. Biden’s campaign even sent out emails with this false claim.
Democrats have been accused of trying to bleed Trump dry with endless lawsuits and trials. Yet, Trump has shown he can continue to bring in big numbers. He recently scored a major win when his social network went public, earning for him personally around $3 billion.
The Trump fundraiser featured well-known Republican figures. Melania Trump was also on hand, as word spreads she is preparing to do more public events for the campaign.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump smashed Joe Biden’s fundraising record by bringing in $50 million in one night.
- Biden had previously raised around $25 million during an event in NYC.
- This comes as Biden’s campaign spreads the rumor that Trump is “broke.”
