Donald Trump raised $50.5 million for his 2024 re-election campaign at a fundraiser in Florida – the most ever raised at a single event.
Saturday’s $250,000-a-ticket bash was held at Trump supporter John Paulson’s Palm Beach home, slightly exceeding the $50 million total that organizers had predicted.
The enormous sum is almost double the $26 million that Joe Biden’s campaign recently raised at a party in New York City.
And that event had the added star power of former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Trump’s fundraising is lagging behind Biden’s so far.
His team now hopes he can soon match the incumbent president’s financial firepower before Election Day on November 5.
Team Trump told AP: “It is clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation and the money to propel President Trump to victory in November.”
