Former US President, Donald Trump's political organizations have nearly $102 million in cash reserves, contributions from supporters unhappy with his 2020 electoral loss to Joe Biden and hoping for a 'change'
The unprecedented cash haul - of which
3.2 million contributions flowed during the first six months of the year, is
the first time an ex-president is amassing such figures at this stage of an election
cycle.
Trump's fundraising is majorly from his
two political action committees: Save America, a leadership PAC, and the Make
America Great Again PAC.
The mind-boggling figures announced
Monday speak highly of Trump's ability to raise money from small-dollar donors
online and during party conventions. It also shows he will not be a pushover in
the Republican party for years to come.
In a statement, Trump complained of a
"stolen" election and cited the donations as a sign that millions of
Americans "share my outrage and want me to continue to fight for the
truth."
Trump's cash reserves are stockpiled in
his Save America leadership PAC, with $90 million remaining in its accounts as
of June 30, new filings revealed by Politico show.
Trump also has hinted at seeking the White House again in 2024, and the new figures show he remains the Republican party's dominant figure despite no longer being on social media.
