Indictment Ignited Trump Fundraising, Nearly $19 Million In First Quarter

Indictment Ignited Trump Fundraising, Nearly $19 Million In First Quarter

  • The $18.8 million for Trump is a combined total from his joint fundraising committee and his campaign.
  • Campaigns were required by Saturday to report first-quarter financial activity.
  • A headline by the vaunted, inside-the-Beltway publication Politico described the indictment as having ‘turbocharged’ the fundraising.
  • The Trump campaign said it brought in $15.4 alone in the two weeks after the charges were filed against the former president, appearing to show how much supporters, including at least some who believe the indictment was politically motivated, were eager to support him.
  • Nearly a quarter of those who contributed to Trump during the roughly two-week period early this month had never given to him before.
