May 31, 2024, 03:24 PM

Following a guilty verdict in his hush-money trial, former President Donald Trump's campaign announced a record-breaking fundraising haul. The campaign raised $34.8 million from small-dollar donors within 24 hours of the verdict, with approximately 30% of the donors being first-time contributors. This amount nearly doubled the previous highest single-day fundraising total for Trump's campaign. Additionally, Trump claimed to have raised a record $39 million in a 10-hour period. The campaign utilized the WinRed platform, which experienced a temporary crash due to the surge in donations. Trump has publicly stated that he will appeal the verdict.
