Raising $20 million in one night from over 300,000 donors is absolutely amazing
Raising $20 million in a single fundraising event is jaw-dropping for any candidate, especially during the COVID-19-inspired era of virtual events.
The event was co-hosted by Guilfoyle and Donald Trump, Jr. along with Trump’s younger daughter Tiffany Trump. There were also cameos by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Tuesday’s event featured a roundtable and other virtual platforms, which President Trump had a hand in developing
“This shows the momentum that the president has that everyday Americans are choosing President Donald Trump,” Guilfoyle said to Breitbart News. “The silent majority is speaking up with a willingness and a desire to vote for four more years on Nov. 3.”
