The Trump campaign has seen an influx of small-dollar donors as well as mega donations
The Donald Trump campaign has raised $200 million since his conviction last Thursday, according to his son Eric.
Eric Trump was speaking to Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo on Sunday when he revealed the astonishing figure, which includes a significant number of small-dollar donations.
“This might be a little inside information, but as I was leaving my house about 37 seconds ago, I asked my wife, ‘What are we up to now?’
“And [Lara] said, just in terms of small dollar, we’re well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small dollar donations.
“If you add the large dollar donations to it, you’re over $200 million.”
To further underscore the unprecedented nature of the donations that have poured in since Thursday, 30% of the small-dollar donations come from people who “have never been seen before by a political party, according to Eric Trump.
‘I mean, these are Americans who are pissed off. They’re coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe he’s getting bamboozled by a system.’
The large-dollar donations were bolstered by a massive $100m donation from Miriam Adelson, the widow of casino baron Sheldon Adelson. Together she and her husband gave over $200 million to the Republican party in 2020. Her fortune is estimated to stand at $30 billion.
Other billionaires have also rallied round Trump in recent weeks, including Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, who said his backing of Trump is a “vote for change.”
