The 2024 campaign cycle is experiencing shockwaves as a result of former President Donald Trump’s weekend fundraiser, which raised roughly twice as much money as President Joe Biden’s record-breaking haul earlier this month.
After several GOP billionaire donors, some of whom were previously backing other Republican presidential contenders, rallied to support the 45th president, Trump managed to raise $50.5 million in West Palm Beach, Fla., Saturday night, doubling Biden’s $26 million take the previous weekend.
Trump’s fundraising event broke “every fundraising record in history for a Republican or Democrat,” according to a Republican National Committee press release.
“Tonight will be an incredible night for President Trump and the Republican Party, raising an astounding $50.5 million,” Trump campaign senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a statement.
