It was a big fundraising day for Team Trump…

According to an Axios report, the Trump campaign saw a record-breaking number of donations in the wake of his “Guilty” verdict in the former president’s New York City criminal trial.

Team Trump brought in $34.8 million, which nearly doubles its previous single-day record.

After the verdict, supporters rushed to Trump’s fundraising site, temporarily crashing it. 29.7% of the contributors were brand-new donors to the WinRed platform.

“President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful for this outpouring of support from patriots across our country,” the campaign said in a release. “President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict.”

Trump had some big-money donors as well, including Sequoia founder Shaun Maguire.

“I just donated $300k to Trump. I’m prepared to lose friends. Here’s why,” Maguire said on X.

“Back in 2016 I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such I donated to Hilary Clinton’s campaign and voted for her. By 2020 I was disillusioned and didn’t vote – I didn’t like either option. Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I’m supporting Trump,” he added.

X owner Elon Musk responded to Maguire on social media, saying simply, “I think you’re right.”
