Trump Raises $56 Million So Far This Year, More Than Every Other GOPer
Even as some party members try to divorce themselves from former President Donald Trump, its hard to deny hes the partys leader. Trump raised a staggering $56 million online through his political committees, The New York Times reports, despite not being in office. Most of that money was raised through Trumps joint committee with the Republican National Committee, though Trump raised $21 million for committees he directly oversees. Much of that money was raised through a sketchy recurring donation feature thats been accused of scamming elderly people into making large donations. The money was collected through WinRed, the partys preferred fundraising medium, beating every other Republican on the platform. In comparison, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the next top fundraiser, raised $7.8 million online.
