BREAKING: Donald Trump raises over $50.5 MILLION at Palm Beach dinner, smashing records

Former President Donald Trump and groups behind him smashed fundraising records at a West Palm Beach fundraiser dinner on Saturday. The amount was double that of President Joe Biden’s recent NYC fundraiser. 

In a press release from the Republican National Committee, the announcement was made about the record-breaking fundraiser. 

“Today, the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee (RNC) announced that President Trump’s Palm Beach dinner will raise over $50.5 million – smashing every fundraising record in history for a Republican or Democrat. This comes after Biden’s desperate New York event took three presidents to raise just $25 million, and as the Trump campaign and RNC’s small dollar fundraising program continues to grow each month,” the release stated. 

Trump campaign senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said, “Tonight will be an incredible night for President Trump and the Republican Party, raising an astounding $50.5 million.”

They added, “Meanwhile, after locking up the nomination in one of the fastest primaries in modern political history, Donald J. Trump is winning poll after poll and proving that the enthusiasm is on his side. It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November 5.”

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and Co-Chairman Lara Trump spoke to what Americans have perceived as Biden’s largest failures in the polls, namely the border and the economy. 

“The Republican Party is united behind the effort to elect President Donald J. Trump, and Americans are lining up to join our movement and retire Crooked Joe Biden once and for all,” they added. 

Trump reacted to amount raised at the event on Truth Social as well.  

 

In a statement made prior to the fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said that the upcoming 2024 election will be the most important … election we’ve ever had.”
