Following his arraignment in Miami, former President Donald Trump successfully garnered approximately $2 million at his campaign’s first major fundraiser.

The event, described as a “candlelight dinner,” saw generous contributions from top donors and campaign bundlers, accumulating a total of $2.1 million, as confirmed by a reliable source within the campaign.

Trump delivered brief remarks to his supporters and occupied a table alongside donors and advocates, including Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), as reported by an attendee.

In addition to the fundraiser, the Trump campaign amassed an impressive $4.5 million in digital fundraising after news broke of Trump’s indictment, Politico has reported.

The campaign’s cumulative fundraising figures reached $6.6 million, though specific details regarding the funds raised subsequent to his indictment are yet to be disclosed.

Despite the campaign’s previous reliance on grassroots and small-dollar donors, the successful fundraiser, originally aiming for around $2 million, highlights Trump’s ability to attract substantial financial support from affluent individuals, even amidst his ongoing legal challenges.

The campaign intends to release comprehensive information about the funds raised following the attention garnered by Trump’s arraignment and a series of fundraising appeals from his team.
