Donald Trump Raised Over $50 Million At Florida Event

As the former president looks to restock depleted finances for his rematch against Democrat and President Joe Biden, the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reported that a significant fundraiser in Florida on Saturday brought in an incredible $50.5 million.

Trump, who has been frequently outraised by Biden and is facing financial difficulties as a result of skyrocketing legal bills and settlements from his criminal and civil litigation, would benefit greatly from the event, which is his largest fundraiser to date.

A portion of the proceeds from the event, which is being held at the Palm Beach residence of billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson, will go to a charity that has paid tens of millions of dollars for Trump’s legal bills.

Even while Trump has had trouble gaining the support of certain significant, traditional Republican donors, he still has the backing of several powerful individuals. According to the event invitation, co-hosts on Saturday will include investor Scott Bessent, casino billionaire Phil Ruffin, hedge-fund investor Robert Mercer, and his daughter, conservative activist Rebekah, and investor Scott Bessent.

“Everyone wants change. Rich or poor, they all want it,” Trump commented before the fundraiser, standing next to his wife Melania Trump, who hasn’t been very involved in the campaign until now.

On social media, Biden spokesperson Ammar Moussa said that “tax preferences were the reason why millionaires had come to Trump’s event. The ultra-wealthy are really mad at Joe Biden for making them pay their fair share.”

Paulson has been floated by Trump as a potential Treasury secretary, according to two sources. Bessent has also been floated for the role, one of those sources said.

Paulson said in a statement on Saturday that there was “overwhelming support” for Trump at the event, which was anticipated to draw 100 attendees.

George Glass, a fundraiser and former ambassador to Portugal for Trump, told Reuters that during his about 45-minute speech, Trump discussed the economy and the southern border with Mexico. He also talked a lot about the unification of the party.

The Republican candidate’s team emphasized that the amount raised was twice as much as what Biden brought in during an extravagant charity event including former Democratic presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama last month, raising nearly $25 million.

The figures won’t be verified until Federal Election Commission filings are received. Occasionally, campaigns inflate their fundraising totals in order to gain traction.

Last month, the Trump team announced that it would not be able to equal Biden’s fundraising totals for this year. In February, his campaign and a joint fundraising committee raised $20.3 million, whereas Biden’s reelection campaign raised over $53 million in the same month.

According to Republican strategist Ron Bonjean, “it will be important to figure out ways to continue this fundraising momentum for Trump with a combination of large/small dollar events.”
