After learning that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued him, former President Donald Trump raised more than $4 million on his first day.
According to a press release from Team Trump, “This unprecedented rush of grassroots contributions demonstrates that the American people view the indictment of President Trump as a shameful weaponization of our justice system by a Soros-funded prosecutor.”
The press release read, “Most importantly, more than 25% of the donations came from new Trump donors, further confirming President Trump’s reputation as a clear frontrunner in the Republican primary.” Donor contributions ranged from $14 to $34 on average.
According to the press release, “President Trump’s 2024 campaign is being funded by an unparalleled coalition of working patriots who are fed up with special interest funders like Soros spending billions of dollars to influence our elections.” “During the first five hours of the bogus indictment, Americans from every state in the Union contributed to President Trump’s campaign.”
Additionally, a campaign representative told NBC that during the same period, 16,000 volunteers signed up.
The main focus of the Bragg v. Trump case is the alleged part of Trump’s involvement in giving reality TV star Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money. Trump’s impeachment is set to take place next week, when he will likely make his first court appearance.
Following the indictment, Trump’s campaign sent more than six emails asking for donations. Trump also used Truth Social to ask his “well” fans to contribute to his campaign.
Trump mentioned a very important message for his donors: “If you’re doing badly, like many of you, don’t send anything,” Trump wrote. “If you’re doing well, which was made possible by the excellent policies of the Trump administration, send your contribution to donaldjtrump.com.”
