Trump's 2024 fundraising haul is a massive dud: documents

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has gotten off to a rocky start, and new fundraising documents obtained by NBC News underline his struggles to raise cash as he attempts a third White House bid. According to the report, Trump's 2024 campaign raised just $9.5 million over the final six weeks of 2022, which was actually less money than he raised over the six weeks prior to announcing his candidacy. GOP operatives who spoke with NBC News said that there were many factors involved in the lackluster numbers, including "Trump's decision to launch in the shadow of a tough midterm election for the GOP, donor fatigue and his soon-to-end absence from the social media giant Facebook." Trump isn't sitting still, however, as his campaign has recently hired the firm Campaign Inbox in a bid to boost small-dollar donations, and NBC News notes that he hasn't yet launched a time-tested mail fundraising operation that has hauled in big money for him in the past.
