Trump Campaign: Record $52.8 Million Donated Within 24 Hours After Conviction

After a New York jury found the former president guilty of 34 charges, contributions poured in at more than $2 million per hour, his campaign said.

The Trump campaign benefited from a “record-shattering, small-dollar fundraising haul” of $52.8 million within 24 hours after former President Donald Trump was convicted on felony charges in New York City, campaign officials said.

That figure topples the previous single-day U.S. campaign contribution record of $50.5 million raised for President Trump’s reelection bid. Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson held the event in early April at his $110-million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.
