Former President Donald Trump held a private meeting with more than two dozen top donors and supporters on Tuesday night. This gathering was organized to rally wealthy donors and supporters to Trump’s cause, shortly after his arraignment on federal felony charges.
The event, which took place at Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, was a “candlelight dinner” attended by supporters who had raised or donated $100,000 towards Trump’s 2024 run for the White House. Trump’s remarks during the dinner echoed his earlier speech outside the clubhouse, where he criticized the federal indictment and pled not guilty.
Among the attendees was Senator Tommy Tuberville, a Trump ally from Alabama. The dinner raised more than $2 million for Trump’s campaign, which confirmed the amount. Despite facing legal challenges and GOP rivals, Trump remains the clear leader in the 2024 Republican primary field.
The loyalty of these donors, though they may not be as well-known as previous Trump backers, is comparable to that of the former president’s small-dollar donors and GOP primary voters. Even amidst efforts by groups like the Koch network to undermine Trump’s chances, his core supporters continue to stand by him.
In fact, a recent Morning Consult poll shows that Trump still leads with 59% support from potential GOP primary voters, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is second with 19%. Rivals like DeSantis have been reaching out to wealthier donors in an attempt to challenge Trump’s front-runner status.
Overall, the private dinner with donors was a successful fundraising event for Trump, highlighting the continued enthusiasm and support for his political ambitions.
