Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign has raised over $4 million dollars within 24 hours of his indictment being made public. The campaign claims that over 25% of the donations have come from first-time donors, which is a testament to the popularity and support for Trump among his base.
The former president's team is urging supporters to donate to show that he does not stand alone in what they call a "witch hunt" against him. They also want to prepare for inevitable attacks as they continue their legal battle ahead.
Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, California Representative Adam Schiff, and both Republican allies and Democratic critics are also seeking donations by fundraising off of the indictment.
However, experts say that any connection between Trump and billionaire philanthropist George Soros is mischaracterized, suggesting it will likely be misunderstood by many people.
Despite this controversy surrounding Soros’ alleged involvement with various political figures around the world, there has been no evidence linking him directly or indirectly with Trump’s current situation.
As more details emerge regarding this ongoing case against Trump, only time will tell how much more money will be raised and who else might benefit from it.
