Recently, the RNC held an event with the Trump team following Biden’s event in New York City.
Biden had held a huge fundraiser with Obama and Clinton raising about $26 million. However, the joint single event with the Trump campaign brought in $40 million and according to Lara Trump broke a fundraising record.
That is a dramatic turnaround from when Ronna McDaniel was heading the RNC. Trump had mentioned that when Lara Trump and Michael Whately took over the organization was not in a “great situation.”
“It took three presidents — Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and God bless us all, the current President of the United States, as hard as it is to say, Joe Biden — to raise $26 million at the glitzy Radio City event last week,” Lara Trump explained, noting that it took just one president, former President Donald Trump “as of this Saturday, in one single event” to raise more than that.
“This is our first major fundraising event with our joint fundraising committee, Trump 47 Committee. This is a fundraising committee between the RNC and the campaign. We have $40 million that we’ve already raised for that single event. As of yesterday, we reported our March fundraising numbers — $65.6 million we have brought in just in the month of March,” she said, describing the haul as “the largest fundraising month for the RNC in history.”
We are taking this very seriously,” Lara said, noting that the RNC has changed.
“We feel more comfortable now donating our money here, because we believe that the money will go towards the things that we care about. You ask, how is that money going to be used? Well, I just talked about the fact that we are going to be playing this game differently, right? We need to have people all across this country. We want volunteers,” she said.
“We want people in every tabulation center across America. If you’re an attorney, we want you also in every polling location and then every tabulation center because this way, if there is even the faintest hint of anything wrong in a moment, we can attack it and we can address it and we’re not waiting weeks on end to bring lawsuits in this space,” the former president’s daughter in law said.
“We’re making sure that that we have a robust team across this country actually focused on winning and not only that, about getting out the vote [and] engaging with things people like low propensity voters. These are people who always vote Republican, or maybe only go to, you know, a polling location or vote in every three or four elections. We got to get them out this election cycle,” she emphasized.
Since Lara Trump and Whatley took over at the RNC, things seem to be changing at the RNC.
