In May, the Trump campaign and RNC reportedly collected $141 million in funds.

• On Monday, it was revealed that the Republican National Committee, along with the campaign of former President Donald Trump, had jointly raised $141 million in May.
• The massive haul would represent a major shift in fortune for Trump.
• A New York jury convicted Trump of 34 criminal counts, and the announcement was made a few days later.

On Monday, it was revealed that the Republican National Committee, along with the campaign of former President Donald Trump, had jointly raised $141 million in May.

Trump's campaign has been struggling to keep up with Biden's fundraising efforts, but a massive haul could shift their fortune. In April, Trump and the RNC brought in just over $76 million, while Biden's political operation raised around $51 million for the same month.

On Thursday, Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to conceal a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Following the verdict, the Trump campaign reported raising $34.8 million in just seven hours.

The Trump campaign reported raising $52.8 million in the 24 hours after the trial ended, which accounts for about 37% of their May fundraising. Despite the guilty verdict, most of the Republican Party's largest donors have chosen to support Trump.

Venture capitalist and longtime Republican donor Doug Leone announced on Monday that he was going to support Trump, despite denouncing him after the January 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill.

Former President Trump has gained my support in the upcoming election due to my growing concerns about the country's direction, immigration system, deficit, and foreign policy mistakes, among other issues. I have not responded to an email requesting comment.

After his trial ended, Trump has persisted in denying the accusations against him and employed the verdict to boost his fundraising efforts for his campaign.

Donors want Trump's policies back in place, according to his team, who viewed the trial as a fundraising surge.

According to a statement from Trump campaign senior advisors Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, President Trump raised $141 million in May because Americans remember the prosperity, security, and peace achieved under his leadership as Donald J. Trump, and they will return to success when he is re-elected in November.

If the Trump campaign's figures are correct, it would imply that the former president may have surpassed Biden in the fundraising race.

The claim that Trump's team raised $141 million in May cannot be verified yet because the latest campaign finance records are not yet public.

According to OpenSecrets, Biden's campaign has raised $195 million in the 2024 election cycle, while Trump's campaign has brought in $120 million.
