Jill Biden headlined a small fundraiser for the Biden Victory Fund in Missouri.
She claimed her husband Joe Biden “rescured” America from COVID and should get another term over potential “chaos” under Trump.
“He opened the schools. He got us vaccines,” Jill said.
Around 30 people attended.
This followed a record-breaking fundraiser by Donald Trump in Florida that hauled in over $50 million, toplling Joe Biden’s recent $26 million haul.
“Roughly 30 people attended, including some familiar faces such as Gephardt and former Build-A-Bear CEO Maxine Clark,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said.
Trump’s campaign and the RNC have reported strong fundraising success in recent months, highlighting enthusiasm for Trump’s potential 2024 run.
“Tonight will be an incredible night for President Trump and the Republican Party, raising an astounding $50.5 million,” Trump campaign senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles stated, noting that Trump is “winning poll after poll and proving that the enthusiasm is on his side.”
“It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November 5,” they added.
“This is our first major fundraising event with our joint fundraising committee, Trump 47 Committee. This is a fundraising committee between the RNC and the campaign. We have $40 million that we’ve already raised for that single event. As of yesterday, we reported our March fundraising numbers — $65.6 million we have brought in just in the month of March,” Lara Trump said.
