Former US President Donald Trump is the GOP politician who raised the most money this year, despite leaving office on January 20, according to local media reports.
Political committees associated with the former president, who ruled from 2017 to 2021, raised $ 82 million in the first half of the year, bringing his total available resources to $ 102 million.…
These are values considered unprecedented for a former president, since traditionally donations – very common in campaigns – stop flowing after a candidate loses and, for practical reasons, elude the public eye.
Trump, who does not have a new election until 2024, has received more funding than the GOP campaigns through the Senate and House of Representatives for next year’s elections.
The former president still has a strong personal appeal, even greater than that of the party, and the fact that most of his followers remain loyal to him, despite the fact that they have lost power and have been blocked on major social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Since his election defeat in November last year, Democrat Joe Biden, Trump has always supported, without presenting evidence, the idea of falsification of these elections and fueled this theory among his followers.
