Billionaires Flock To Support Trump in Upcoming Fundraiser


President Trump has had his share of financial setbacks lately via fines and lawyer fees associated with the multiple court cases he’s been fighting.

But his campaign may be on the receiving end of an influx of cash soon.

It has been reported that this weekend several billionaires will be attending an “Inaugural Leadership Dinner” with Trump, where he is expected to rake in donations to his campaign.

This news couldn’t come at a better time for Trump, as he just had to pony up a $175 million bond in New York to prevent his assets from being seized.

The haul from the fundraising event is expected by some to eclipse Biden’s recent $25 million gain from his own event.

Some billionaire donors expected to attend previously donated to the Desantis and Haley campaigns is the primaries.

But with the primaries over, people are starting to circle the wagons around Trump.

Fox News has more on the upcoming fundraising event:

The event will also be attended by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Strategas Jason Trennert, one of Wall Street’s top thought leaders.

Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts and New York Jets co-owner Woody Johnson are also expected to be involved along with Wilbur Ross, Trump’s former secretary of commerce.

The event tops out at the “Chairman Level,” which costs $824,600 and includes seating at the former president’s table.

“Now that President Trump won the primaries, defeating all 10 contenders by a landslide, I think it’s time for Republicans to unite behind him,” Paulsen recently told Bloomberg. “For that reason, I’m hosting this inaugural event to galvanize the broad support there is for the president.”

The event comes after President Biden raised at least $26 million in a star-studded event with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Many expect Trump’s fundraising haul to eclipse that record-setting figure and possibly raise around $43 million.
