Trump’s small-dollar donors fuel $19 million first-quarter haul

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.

The Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, which raises money for Trump’s political operations, took in $9 million from donors who gave less than $200. Donors who gave amounts of $500 or more accounted for $1.8 million of the total, according to the filing with the Federal Election Commission.

Continued financial support by his base has allowed Save America, Trump’s leadership political action committee, to amass $110 million through February — not counting $5 million it received from the joint fundraising committee in March.
