39. It's nothing
Sat Apr 1, 2023, 11:40 AM
Apr 2023

I mean, yeah, it's $4 million. But in the scheme of things, especially presidential campaigns, it's beer money at best. I'm fairly sure that he has some contractor doing his fund raising and they get a cut, often a fairly steep cut (like 20% or so). They'll raise money from anyone over anything. I've seen innumerable candidates "raising money" the day before or the day of an election. It's their fund raising contractors trying to maximize their returns. The candidates have already allocated the funds they expect to have.
