NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s project stated it raised $50.5 million on Saturday, a incredible reported haul as his project works to catch up to the fundraising juggernaut of President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
The reported haul from the occasion with significant donors at the Palm Beach, Florida, home of billionaire financier John Paulson sets a brand-new single-event fundraising record and is practically double the $26 million that Biden’s project stated it raised justrecently at a event with previous Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
“It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the cash to move President Trump to triumph on November 5,” his project senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles stated in a declaration.
The occasion, billed as the “Inaugural Leadership Dinner,” sendsout a signal of a revival of Trump and the Republican Party’s fundraising, which hasactually lagged behind Biden and the Democrats.
“This hasactually been some extraordinary night before it even begins duetothefactthat individuals — they desired to contribute to a cause of making America fantastic onceagain, and that’s what’s occurred,” Trump stated briefly to pressreporters as he gothere at the occasion with his spouse Melania Trump.
Trump and the GOP revealed earlier in the week that they raised more than $65.6 million in March and closed out the month with $93.1 million. Biden and the Democrats revealed Saturday that they took in more than $90 million last month and had $192 million-plus on hand.
“While Donald Trump hasactually been hectic granting himself golf prizes at Mar-a-Lago and palling around with billionaires, Joe Biden hasactually been crisscrossing the country linking with citizens and layingout his vision to grow our economy from the bottom up and the middle out,” Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison stated in a declaration, referring to Trump’s Florida house.
Campaign fundraising reports submitted with the Federal Election Commission detailing contributions from Saturday’s occasion are not anticipated upuntil a mid-July filing date.
