Former President Donald Trump latest fundraising figures appear to cement his commanding front-runner status in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination

The Trump campaign raised more than $45 million during the third quarter of 2023, it announced Wednesday, easily surpassing the former president’s rivals in the 2024 GOP primary. The campaign said it has more than $37.

Donald Trump's campaign said on Wednesday it raised over $45.5 million in the third quarter from July to September, nearly 30% higher than it raised in the previous quarter while the former U.S. president faces multiple legal charges.

The Trump campaign’s total, which cannot be independently verified until later this month, was built in part by an outpouring of money after his mug shot in Georgia was released.

Donald Trump’s campaign says it raised more than $45.5 million in the third quarter of the year. The haul announced Wednesday far surpasses Ron DeSantis, the man once seen as his fiercest rival.
