Continued financial support by his base has allowed Save America, Trump’s leadership political action committee, to amass $110 million through February.
Former President Donald Trump arrives at a rally on April 2, 2022, near Washington, Michigan. Former President Donald Trump’s fundraising committee that targets small-dollar donors raised $19 million in the first quarter, according to its latest filing, while the Republican Party’s biggest donors are pouring millions into groups tied to the House and Senate leaderships.
Even so, that support dipped as the primary season ahead of the midterm elections heats up. Over the last six months of 2021, Trump’s joint fundraising committee averaged $25 million a quarter, fueled by daily text messages, emails and other solicitations to his base. His endorsement of talk-show host Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate caused consternation about whether the former president’s picks can win a statewide general election. Oz has been criticized for comments he made in the past on gun control, reproductive rights and China that run counter to GOP positions.
Trump has also backed primary challengers to Republican House members who voted to impeach him after his supporters rioted in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Four of the members, Representatives Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, John Katko of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Fred Upton of Michigan, aren’t seeking reelection.
