Trump campaign expected to raise $43 million at fundraising event in Florida

Former President Donald Trump is expected to raise about $43 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida. 

The event will take place Saturday and be hosted at the home of billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson.

“The response to our fundraising efforts has been overwhelming, and we’ve raised over $43 million so far,” Paulson said, according to The Associated Press. “There is massive support amongst a broad spectrum of donors.”

The event is titled the “Inaugural Leadership Dinner,” and contributions will be given to the Trump 47 Committee, according to the invitation. 

Co-chairs of the event include businessman Robert Bigelow and New York grocery billionaire and talk-show host John Catsimatidis.

President Joe Biden held a fundraiser last month in New York City that raised over $26 million.
