Trump campaign, RNC raise $207.5 million since Election Day

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee, their joint-fundraising committees and President Trump’s new PAC Save America have raised $207.5 million since Election Day, Fox News has learned.

Fox News has also learned that the entities, which include the campaign, the RNC, Trump Victory, and Trump Make America Great Again Committee, will file with the Federal Election Commission Thursday for the reporting period of Oct. 15 to Nov. 23, when they raised a total of $495 million.

The Save America PAC was formed just after Election Day, and its fundraising is not included in that total of $495 million.

A source close to the president told Fox News that the massive $207.5 million raised since Election Day "reaffirms that POTUS is the big dog in the Republican Party."

“These tremendous fundraising numbers show President Trump remains the leader and source of energy for the Republican Party, and that his supporters are dedicated to fighting for the rightful, legal outcome of the 2020 general election,” Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien told Fox News.

“It also positions President Trump to continue leading the fight to clean up our corrupt elections process in so many areas around the country, and to build on gains from the 2020 elections so we can take back the House and build on our Senate majority in 2022,” Stepien added.

The massive post-Election Day fundraising came amid legal challenges mounted by the Trump campaign in key battleground states across the nation, where President-elect Joe Biden led by a razor-thin margin.

The campaign’s legal effort, led by Rudy Giuliani, has, in large part, been focused on Republican poll watchers being blocked from viewing vote counting at polling sites in some locations. Those claims have been dismissed even by Republican-appointed judges, who have said the cases lack evidence.

Election officials in many of those states have certified Biden’s victory.

The president, this week, despite refusing to concede to Biden, hinted that he may launch a 2024 campaign to return to the White House.

"It's been an amazing four years. We are trying to do another four years. Otherwise, I'll see you in four years," the president told supporters on Tuesday night at a White House holiday party for members of the Republican National Committee. Two GOP sources who attended the function confirmed the president's comments to Fox News.

Until now, Trump has remained quiet about the possibility of running to reclaim the White House in 2024. "I d... (Read more)
