Trump campaign has raised millions in a fundraising push over the impeachment hearings.
Friday came with the second day of the public impeachment hearings of President Trump. Democrats and Republicans have been grilling former U.S. diplomats and officials to establish whether the president pressured Ukraine into investigating his political opponent in exchange for military aid. And while Trump has actively worked to discredit the witnesses on Twitter, his campaign is working overtime fundraising on the impeachment hearing.
According to Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale, the president’s campaign raised $3,144,257 after the impeachment hearings began. The campaign now has a goal to raise $5 million, but as of the time this article was published, it was unclear if that goal was reached. Immediately after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi formally announced an impeachment inquiry in September, the Trump campaign pulled in a staggering $1 million in just 3 hours.
In contrast, Democratic frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden only has $9 million cash on hand. And Senator Bernie Sanders, who has pulled in the most among all the Democratic candidates, only has $34 million cash on hand.
