  • In the month since Election Day, President Donald Trump’s campaign has ratcheted up fundraising, raising more than $150 million, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
  • The New York Times published a similar report Monday but put the number at $170 million.
  • To put that into context, the amount raised since Election Day is about double the amount that one of Trump’s main PACs raised during September, its best month.
  • The Trump campaign sent hundreds of emails in November, asking supporters to donate as the president fought the results of the 2020 election, The Post reported.
  • But the fine print shows that only a fraction of small-dollar donations go to the Trump campaign’s legal fund, with most of the money going into a new account designated to seed his political future instead.
  • President Donald Trump’s campaign has raised at least $150 million after Election Day after sending out hundreds of emails asking for support as part of Trump’s hopeless mission to contest President-elect Joe Biden’s win, according to Monday reports from The Washington Post and The New York Times.
    In reality, only a small fraction of small-dollar donations is being used for Trump’s legal challenges, with the vast majority instead being put into an account the president can use to fund his post-White House political career.
    The Post and Times reports differ slightly on the total raised by the Trump campaign since Election Day. The Post said that more than $150 million was raised in that time, citing multiple sources, while a source who spoke with The Times put that number at $170 million.
    Either total would be a significant amount for the campaign. For comparison, the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, one of Trump’s main political action committees, raised $125 million in all of the second quarter of 2020 and raised $81 million during September, its best fundraising month, according to The Post.
