Trump’s re-election campaign raised $4 million in one day after his impeachment

The campaign for the re-election of Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States in 2024 raised more than $4 million in the last 24 hoursafter the news was published that the New York grand jury indicted the former president in the case of payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, reported Efe.

“More than 25 percent of donations came from new benefactors,” the organization explained in a statement this Friday. According to the campaign, the average donation amount is $34. Shortly after the allegation became public, several US media outlets published an email sent by the organization in an attempt to use the news to spark fundraising momentum. “I promise you: this Witch Hunt will blow up in (US President) Joe Biden’s face,” the message reads.

Several Republican officials, such as presumptive presidential nominee and vice president during the Trump administration (2017-2021) Mike Pence, suggested yesterday that the former president’s impeachment responds to political motives and accused the prosecutor in charge of the case, Alvin Bragg, of having partisan motives. The decision to indict Trump, however, was made by a New York grand jury, not a prosecutor.

For now, Donald Trump, who announced his candidacy in November, is the leading candidate for the Republican Party nomination for the 2024 presidential election. His two likely biggest challengers, Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, have not yet announced whether they will run, but both have suggested they will make a decision soon.
