Trump's 'huge' fundraiser comes as Biden's campaign announces a massive fundraising report
Former President Trump is aiming to break a brand-new fundraising record set just over a week ago by President Biden.
The Trump campaign predicts that it will haul in over $40 million at a fundraiser on Saturday in Palm Beach, Florida, as they try to catch up a bit to Biden in the 2024 presidential race cash dash.
That would easily top the more than $26 million Biden's campaign said he raked in during a fundraising appearance on March 28 with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall...
...And on Saturday morning, hours before the Trump fundraiser, the Biden campaign announced that they hauled in over $187 million during the first three months of this year, including more than $90 million in March. They also touted that they have a massive $192 million cash on hand .
But Michael Whatley, the newly installed Republican National Committee chair and Trump ally, said in an interview this week on FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria" that over $40 million would be brought in at the Palm Beach fundraiser, which he described as a "huge event."
Billionaire investor and hedge fund founder John Paulson is hosting the top-dollar fundraiser, which is the kickoff event for the recently formed Donald J. Trump National Committee....
...Among those listed as co-chairs of the fundraiser are hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer. They were major boosters of Trump in 2016 but mostly sat out the former president's 2020 re-election campaign.
Also on the list of co-chairs are oil magnate Harold Hamm; hotelier and space entrepreneur Robert Bigelow; casino giant Steve Wynn; and Todd Ricketts, a co-owner of the Chicago Cubs, a member of the TD Ameritrade board of directors and former RNC finance chairman.
The "Inaugural Leadership Dinner" will be held at Paulson's Palm Beach home, which isn't far from Trump's Mar-a-Lago club and resort.
Those attending the fundraiser are expected to donate from $250,000 to over $800,000, which would include "dinner seating at President Trump's table."
