Comparison with Democratic Party Funding

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is lagging far behind in fundraising. The Democratic National Committee only managed to raise $69 million, and their main super PAC, Future Forward, only raised about $1 million. About 70% of Trump’s funds came from donors who gave $1 million or more.

Small donations from donors who gave less than $200 declined to $22 million this year. Trump’s other political groups such as Never Surrender, Save America, and Make America Great Again PAC had $41 million left as of June after spending $26.5 million, of which about $6 million went to legal fees.

Conclusion

With this huge amount of funding, Trump is showing significant financial power in supporting the Republican Party.

Despite still facing several legal cases, including an appeal of 34 felony charges related to payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, as well as a $500 million civil fraud fine and an $83.3 million debt to author E. Jean Carroll for defamation, this strong financial backing may have a major influence in the upcoming election.
