Trump campaign raises ‘record’ $34.8 million following verdict, 30% from new donors
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign saw a record shattering $34.8 million raised through small dollar donations following his hush money trial verdict on Thursday, the campaign said.
Nearly 30% of the funds reportedly came from “brand new donors” who had never contributed to the former president through the WinRed platform.
Trump campaign senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles produced a join statement on the historic funding.
“From just minutes after the sham trial verdict was announced, our digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support, and despite temporary delays online because of the amount of traffic, President Trump raised $34.8 million dollars from small dollar donors,” they said.
“Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday’s donor’s were brand new donors to the WinRed platform,” they continued.
“President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful from this outpouring of support from patriots across our country. President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict,” they said.
Virtually the entire conservative movement came out in opposition to the verdict, arguing that the trial was politically weaponized against the former president.
“This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” Trump said after the results were reached.
“The real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people,” he said. “And they know what happened here, and everybody knows what happened here. You have a Soros-backed DA, and the whole thing, we didn’t do a thing wrong.”
He emphasized his innocence before attacking President Joe Biden.
“This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent. And I think it’s just a disgrace. And we’ll keep fighting. We’ll fight till the end, and we’ll win because our country has gone to hell,” he said.
