The Trump campaign raised more than $45 million during the third quarter of 2023, it announced Wednesday, easily surpassing the former president’s rivals in the 2024 GOP primary.
The campaign said it has more than $37.5 million cash on hand, with close to $36 million of it designated for use in the primary campaign.
The significant haul came during the months of July, August and September, during which Trump was indicted in Washington, D.C., for his attempts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election and indicted in Georgia for his efforts to overturn the election results there. Prosecutors also brought additional charges in that time frame related to Trump’s retention of classified documents.
is this a self-reported number? or should we really take it at face value and believe it’s accurate?
