Trump, RNC raise combined $141 million in May

Former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee on Monday announced that they had raised a combined $141 million in May, with much of that sum coming from a post-conviction wave of donations.

Trump was convicted last Thursday on 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money trial. The campaign last week confirmed last week that it had raised $52.8 million within 24 hours of the verdict.

“We are moved by the outpouring of support for President Donald J. Trump. The American people saw right through Crooked Joe Biden’s rigged trial, and sent Biden and Democrats a powerful message – the REAL verdict will come on November 5th,” Trump Campaign senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a press release.

The campaign highlighted that the sum was the result of more than 2 million donations, which averaged at $70.27.

“The American people saw the Biden Trials for what they are – a sham attempt to keep President Trump away from voters and confined in a courtroom. It didn’t work because voters understand the clear contrast between President Trump’s record of success and Joe Biden’s failures,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and co-Chairman Lara Trump also said.

“Unfortunately for Democrats, their rigged political operation has backfired in a historic way, and Republicans are in a stronger position than to FIRE Crooked Joe Biden and Make America Great Again by electing President Trump on November 5," they continued.

The campaign and the RNC raised a combined $76 million in April.
