NextImg:Trump to Fundraise in North Carolina alongside New RNC Leaders

Former president Donald Trump will head to Charlotte, North Carolina, next weekend to fundraise alongside Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley and RNC co-chair Lara Trump, according to an event invitation obtained by National Review, marking another appearance this cycle from the presumptive GOP nominee in the crucial southern battleground state he carried in 2016 and 2020.

The April 20 event will be hosted by Trump 47, the new joint fundraising committee vehicle created last month to benefit the former president’s 2024 campaign, his Save America PAC, the national party, and dozens of state committees.

Next weekend’s Charlotte fundraiser comes on the heels of a record-breaking $50 million haul the former president’s campaign says it raised last weekend in Palm Beach, Fla. That fundraiser, hosted by billionaire hedge fund manager, John Paulson, helped close the former president’s campaign’s cash gap between President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee.

Trump’s fundraising turnaround comes weeks after his campaign formally joined forces with the RNC in early March and the former president installed Whatley, the former North Carolina GOP chairman, and the former president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to lead the national party. That effective merger has allowed both entities to accept bigger checks from donors amid a competitive election cycle in which the former president continues to spend heavily on legal fees.
