Within 24 hours of the guilty verdict on June 1, Trump's campaign raised $52.8 million, with a substantial portion coming from small-dollar donations. Over the next few days, the total amount raised soared to over $200 million. This unprecedented fundraising haul includes more than $70 million from small donors, many of whom are new supporters.
