Trump Expected To Raise $43 Million Tonight At Palm Beach

Glad Trump is closing the gap with Biden. Just glad he isn't beholden to the donor class because he needs the money like those establishment politicians like Ron.


Donald Trump is gearing for the biggest political fundraising event of the 2024 election season to date on Saturday when a group of ultra-wealthy donors will descend on Mar-a-Lago for a gathering that's expected to rake in $43 million for the Republican presidential hopeful.

The fundraiser for the ex-president dubbed the 'Inaugural Leadership Dinner' is being hosted by hedge fund billionaire John Paulson and his fiancée Alina de Almeida.

Tickets for the glitzy event Saturday go for as much as $814,600 for the chairman level which includes seating at the table with the former president, reception and a photo opportunity.

The next level is the host committee for $250,000 a ticket. It includes 'VIP seating,' reception and photo opportunity.

The invitation includes a series of other extremely wealthy Republican mega donors as co-chairs including billionaire hedge fund manager Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer.

Casino mogul Steve Wynn and wife Andrea are also listed on the invite as is oil tycoon Harold Hamm, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick and grocery store chain CEO John Catsimatidis.

But despite the improvement on fundraising last month as Trump and the RNC entered a new Trump 47 Committee joint fundraising agreement with the ex-president clinching the necessary delegates to be the nominee, Biden is still way ahead when it comes to raking in cash.

The record-breaking haul has allowed the president's campaign to make early advertising reservations and invest in field operations with offices and staff across the country as they work to expand their political path to victory.

'It sure looks like Trump's campaign is hiding behind a few billionaires at Mar-a-Lago and is struggling to attract the grassroots donor enthusiasm that powers winning campaigns,' said Rob Flaherty, Biden's deputy campaign manager in a statement.
