Trump campaign raises record $34.8 million in donations after guilty verdict

Trump campaign raises record $34.8 million in donations after guilty verdic.

The Republican campaign announced it raised $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in less than seven hours following the historic verdict Thursday afternoon that convicted the former president of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Nearly 30% of those donors were new to the Trump donation platform WinRed, according to senior campaign advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles in a press release.

The advisors reiterated Trump’s post-trial assertion that the “real verdict” will come on Election Day, Nov. 5, when he faces President Joe Biden in a rematch of their 2020 contest.

Trump is expected to be formally nominated as the Republican Party’s presidential candidate just days after his scheduled July 11 criminal sentencing in Manhattan Supreme Court.

He is the first former U.S. president, and the first presumptive major-party nominee, to be convicted of a crime.

The Trump campaign informed NBC News that the latest fundraising total includes only donations made between Thursday’s verdict, which was delivered just after 5 p.m. ET, and midnight Friday.

This significant fundraising boost comes less than two weeks after Trump reported a higher monthly fundraising total than Democrat Biden for the first time in 2024.
