Trump touts ‘record’ fundraising from NRCC: ‘A great tribute’
President Donald Trump proudly announced the remarkable fundraising achievements of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) during its annual president’s dinner on Tuesday evening. Trump shared with attendees that the event had broken all previous records, with over $35 million raised in a single evening.
The fundraising numbers from Tuesday night’s dinner were unprecedented, surpassing what the NRCC had raised in entire quarters in the past. In July, the NRCC celebrated a “record-shattering” fundraising total for the second quarter of 2024, which was only $2 million more than what was achieved at the Tuesday night dinner.
Estimates prior to the event had suggested that the NRCC might raise around $10 million, but the actual total far exceeded expectations. Trump expressed optimism for future fundraising efforts, predicting that next year’s event could bring in $45 or even $50 million.
The dinner featured various giving levels, with some attendees contributing as much as $310,100. The lowest cost for a seat at the event was $6,000 per person or $10,000 per couple. Trump praised the supporters of the House Republican majority in attendance, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to the party.
During his remarks, Trump also highlighted the success of his tariff plan, noting that America was making significant revenue as a result. He pointed out that the country was generating $2 billion a day from tariffs, showcasing the financial benefits of his policies.
In addition to discussing fundraising achievements, Trump touched on the ongoing negotiations with other countries to secure favorable trade deals. He emphasized that his administration was taking unprecedented steps to strengthen America’s position on the global stage.
Overall, Trump’s speech at the NRCC president’s dinner underscored the party’s commitment to fundraising and highlighted the significant contributions of its supporters. The event’s record-breaking success was a testament to the dedication and generosity of those who believe in the Republican Party’s values and mission.
