In the week after news broke of Donald Trump’s historic federal indictment, his campaign announced the former president raised more than $6 million for his 2024 run for the White House.
Cozying up to some of the country’s wealthiest and most prolific donors on trips to Silicon Valley is nothing new. The Clintons and Obamas were frequent visitors to a who’s who of homes on the Peninsula.
But so far, the trend lines for the 2024 election have only widened between Trump and DeSantis, while the remaining challengers linger at the bottom of the X-Y axis. What the candidates lack so far in polling, however, they are trying to make up for in their campaign war chests. In nearly any other election, this might all appear like politics as usual, candidates in an open primary jockeying for support and showing off their fundraising prowess by the financial reporting deadline at the end of June. Candidates need at least 40,000 unique donors to make the stage for GOP’s first debate in August. But Republican strategists worry that instead of elevating a worthy opponent to Trump, a divided donor base will only ensure Trump’s inevitability.
