The Republican National Committee had come under fire over the actions of its former leader, Ronna McDaniel. Some criticized her after it came out that she had spent tens of thousands of dollars on flowers.
Meanwhile, the party had not won a significant election since she took over. In fact, last year it failed to reach fundraising goals, despite the primaries.
Now, Lara Trump and others are in charge of the party. And Trump has vowed to use every resource to defeat Joe Biden, including early voting and ballot harvesting. It seems voters are getting behind her because she just made this huge announcement.
From The Post Millennial:
Lara Trump, the new co-chair of the Republican National Committee, announced Wednesday that the GOP “had the largest digital fundraising weekend since 2020.”The daughter-in-law to former President Trump posted on X, “I am proud to announce that last weekend the GOP had the largest digital fundraising weekend since 2020. Much more to come…we are just getting started!”
I am proud to announce that last weekend the @GOP had the largest digital fundraising weekend since 2020. Much more to come…we are just getting started! @realDonaldTrump @ChairmanWhatley @LaCivitaC

Lara Trump revealed the party brought in a record-breaking digital haul. The RNC had the “largest digital fundraising weekend” since 2020. That will serve as a good sign for the new leadership team, which just took over the party.
This large fundraising haul is probably partly due in thanks to Trump securing the nomination. It was likely that voters were unwilling to donate to the RNC, while it was still hosting debates for other candidates.
While the party struggled to bring in case, Trump continued to enjoy growing support among Republicans—including in the form of donations.
It is also probable that voters are excited about Lara Trump’s plans for the 2024 Election. She has made it clear that “every penny” donated will go to winning the elections. Trump has planned to use mail-in voting, early voters, and legal ballot harvesting to gain an edge over Democrats.
Should the party from state to state follow her lead, they might turn out huge voting numbers in November.
Key Takeaways:
- The RNC had its best digital fundraising weekend since 2020.
- This comes just days after Lara Trump was elected co-chair.
- Previous leaders of the party had been accused of wasteful spending.
