President Donald Trump has turned up the heat for his 2024 campaign, raising tens of millions of dollars within the last week in a show of strength that starkly contrasts what Joe Biden has been able to accomplish.
Last week, Trump hauled in $50.5 million in just one night at a Palm Beach fundraiser, eclipsing the previous fundraising record of $26 million in a day that was raised by Democrats just a few weeks ago, per RSBN.
On Wednesday, the 45th president attended another fundraiser event in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was projected to raise around $5 million at that single event. The president mingled with supporters at the airport on his way to the event and even swung by a Chick-fil-A, where he ordered milkshakes for patrons inside the iconic American restaurant.
According to Fox 35, Trump also hit up a fundraiser in Central Florida hosted by Dan Newlin, an attorney. According to the outlet, the Trump campaign projected that they would bring in around $15 million, and on Wednesday night at an event at Mar-a-Lago celebrating Truth Social, the president confirmed the fundraising haul.
“I just got back from a little tour, we went to Atlanta and then we went to Orlando…but we raised about $14 million,” he said, per RSBN.
Trump’s campaign has been blitzing the campaign circuit over the past couple of weeks as they gear up to dive headfirst into the general election season following their knockout wins in the Republican presidential primary races across the nation.
According to AJC Politics, Trump’s campaign raised over $65 million in March. New GOP Chairman Michael Whatley recently indicated that since the 45th president clinched the Republican nomination just a few weeks ago, the GOP has managed to raise over $100 million, indicating a rapid increase in voter support for the president’s campaign against Biden.
