In the final weeks of his 2020 presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump saw a surge in campaign contributions. Various strategies were utilized to increase the campaign fund, such as recurring donation options, faux “last chance” emails, and merchandise sales.
The funds raised were used to fund campaign advertisements, travel expenses, rallies, and to support the Republican Party. Some funds also went towards legal fees for various lawsuits associated with campaign and post-election disputes. The exact amount raised varies according to different sources, but it was substantial.
It should be noted that every presidential campaign relies on fundraising, especially in the final stages, to gain a competitive edge. Donations are primarily sourced from supporters across the country who want to contribute to the success of their preferred candidate.
