President Donald Trump pulled in a massive $45.5 million in donations in the third quarter of 2023, holds $36 million in cash for the primary election to secure the GOP nomination, and the rest of the Republican field is losing the support of the party's megadonors. Those donors can see that Trump is far and away going to be the GOP nominee for president in 2024.
Many of these donors are the same ones who attempted to use their spending power to stop Trump from winning the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. These donors are seeing that Trump has all but secured the 2024 GOP nomination for president, and are holding back on giving money to his rivals. "The competitive GOP primary eight years ago saw an earlier and higher level of donor engagement, particularly from financial industry leaders," the Wall Street Journal reports.
"It’s becoming clear the cavalry’s not coming," longtime GOP strategist Ken Spain said, per WSJ. "The donor community has come to recognize the strength of Trump and the difficulty in dislodging a major part of the base from him. You’re tilting at windmills if you try."
