Trump eyes $43 million haul from biggest fundraiser yet

A major fundraiser for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Florida is expected to raise over million. Trump has been struggling financially compared to Democrat Joe Biden, facing high legal fees and payouts. The event is hosted by billionaire John Paulson and includes support from prominent donors like Robert Mercer and Phil Ruffin. The fundraiser will allocate funds to cover Trump’s legal fees, and Trump’s campaign has acknowledged they will not match Biden’s fundraising totals. Trump can now raise money with the RNC ahead of the election through the Trump 47 Committee, which directs funds to the Save America leadership group before the RNC. Top donors are asked to contribute up to 4,600 per person, with funds going to Trump’s campaign and other Republican entities.

Trump signals support for 15-week national abortion ban

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump expressed support for a 15-week national ban on abortion with exceptions for rape, incest, and saving the life of the mother, citing the importance of winning elections. This stance was shared during a call-in radio interview on the “Sid & Friends in the Morning” show on WABC. Trump’s three appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court played a key role in overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. He has not committed to signing a national ban into law but indicated a consensus around the 15-week mark. The Biden campaign has criticized Republican restrictions on reproductive rights, particularly after the Supreme Court’s decision, which led to restrictive abortion laws in nearly two dozen states. Trump mentioned he would discuss his views on a 16-week abortion ban soon, following a report by The New York Times about his private support for such a ban.
