Washington — Former President Donald Trump's campaign said it raised $50.5 million at a Saturday event in Florida, marking a massive haul as his campaign looks to catch up to the Biden campaign's recent fundraising efforts and significant cash advantage.
The record-breaking sum that the campaign reported raising at a Palm Beach, Florida fundraising dinner on Saturday far surpasses the amount brought in by a star-studded fundraiser for the Biden campaign last month, as the GOP touted the event as an indicator of party's unity behind the former president.
In a joint statement, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump said the "success" of Saturday's event is "proving what we already know: Americans are fed up with Biden's record of failure, from the open southern border and sky-high inflation to the migrant crime crisis that has made everyone less safe."
