Republican National Committee & Trump Campaign Raise $76M in April, Majority from Small Donors

The Republican National Committee and the campaign of former US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that they raised over $76 million in April, with over half of the funding coming from small contributors.

The monthly fundraising total exceeded the $65.6 million that Trump, the Republican nominee for president, and the RNC raised in March, according to Reuters. Regarding the amount of money raised, the campaign provided no more details; they will be revealed in papers later this month.

Tony Fabrizio, Chris LaCivita, and Susie Wiles, the heads of the Trump campaign, gave a presentation that lasted almost an hour and disclosed the fundraising numbers. Biden has not yet released his April financial results.

The fact that small-dollar contributions account for half of the monies donated indicates how motivated our base is. Trump campaign senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles released a statement saying, "The Republican Party is united, and voters nationwide are ready to FIRE Joe Biden and elect Donald J. Trump."

At a retreat in Florida, Trump and the RNC invited well-known politicians and fundraisers, as well as possible vice presidential contenders. The event was intended to strengthen Trump's finances—which have been severely damaged by legal bills—and reassure funders over the campaign's current state.

For the time being, Trump is spending a lot of time in court in Manhattan, where he is facing charges related to paying porn actress Stormy Daniels hush money.

As the contest moves into its final six months, Trump campaign staffers reportedly told the New York Times that the candidate is in a favorable position. They said that he continues to have a sizable advantage in three key states—Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia—that will have a major impact on the result of the election.

Nonetheless, Trump's advisors stressed that the president still keeps a hectic schedule. According to them, in the next weeks, the former president would have fundraisers in Kentucky, New York, Nevada, Houston, and Dallas. He also has a speech in Washington, D.C., and a rally in New Jersey planned.

Recently, the Federal Election Commission relaxed rules governing door-to-door canvassing and voter mobilization cooperation between campaigns and allied organizations.
