Former President Donald Trump was by far the top online Republican fundraiser during the first half of the year, according to reviews of federal findings, with one of his political action committees pulling in more money than any other Republican-affiliated group.
A shared account between Trump and the Republican National Committee called the Trump Make America Great Again Committee received $34.3 million during the first half of 2020, according to a New York Times analysis of the mid-year fundraising filings from WinRed, which is the main online processing site for Republican donations.
Trump’s political action committee is entitled to 75% of the Trump Make America Great Again Committee’s fundraising, with the rest going to the RNC.
Some $21 million was also donated to two other political committees that Trump controls, according to the Times.
Trump was able to bring in far more money than any of the large, traditional Republican fundraising groups on their own, like the National Republican Congressional Committee ($26.7 million), National Republican Senatorial Committee ($23 million) or the RNC ($19.1 million).
