The inaugural committee for former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance is projected to raise a record-breaking amount in funds, surpassing their $150 million goal. Pledged contributions have already exceeded $150 million, nearly tripling the amount raised by President Joe Biden's inaugural committee in 2021 and surpassing Trump's first inauguration in 2017. The committee is planning three days of festivities and exclusive events for supporters and donors, starting January 18th.

"There is an absolute deluge of interest," said one Republican fundraiser, telling ABC News that corporate interests in particular feel more comfortable and motivated to donate to Trump's inaugural this time around. A Republican lobbyist raising money for the inauguration told ABC News that the "Make America Great Again Victory Rally," which will kick off the inaugural festivities on Jan. 18, will be a signature Trump-style event bringing together a massive crowd that "keeps him connected to his supporters."
As was the case for Trump's 2016 inauguration, donors get different levels of access depending on their contribution tier, with supporters in the highest tier giving $1 million or raising $2 million. But this time around, the lowest tier is $50,000, which is double the lowest tier at Trump's first inauguration.
