Historic: Trump set to raise record $2 billion for reelection, 4-times 2016Washington Examiner, Jul 8, 2019, Paul Bedard
Republican donor enthusiasm is reaching new levels more than a year before the presidential election, sparking wild predictions that President Trump and the Republican National Committee’s joint fundraising committee will raise more than Trump and Hillary Clinton collected in the 2016 election.
GOP fundraisers said the president could rake in $2 billion to $2.5 billion, a record amount that is double what Clinton and former President Barack Obama took in for their most recent campaigns.
It would also be four times the $600 million Trump raised in 2016.
Trump recently shocked the political and fundraising establishment when he raised more than $1 million an hour during the first day of his official reelection campaign. Not only did he host a huge rally in Orlando, Florida, but his campaign team and children, including Eric and Lara Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle made calls to 200 top donors.
