According to an Axios report, former President and 2024 GOP nominee Donald Trump is on track for a huge fundraising haul this weekend —an estimated $43 million dollars could land in the Trump war chest in one night.
The estimated haul would crush President Biden’s $26 million dollar Radio City Music Hall event from last week which was billed as the largest fundraiser in political history.
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.”
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.
A source familiar with the event planning tells Axios: “This event is greatly exceeding expectations and shows the Republican Party is united behind President Trump.”
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.
Team Trump and the RNC are already coming off a huge fundraising haul in March; more than $65 million dollars were added to the Trump war chest.
