Former President Donald Trump wasted no time getting back on the campaign trail after his historic criminal trial in New York City came to an end. Trump headlined a campaign fundraiser just hours after being convicted on all 34 felony counts. He is set to attend a UFC match in Newark, New Jersey, and sit for a “Fox and Friends” interview in the coming days.
Despite the guilty verdicts, Trump remains confident and excited to continue his campaign efforts. His team highlighted that even during the trial, he was able to generate significant media coverage and host rallies and fundraisers, resulting in a substantial fundraising haul.
Trump’s top pollsters believe the conviction will not have any electoral consequences, and the former president’s campaign is already back on track to save the nation, as they put it. Longtime Republican strategist David Carney expressed that Trump is now unleashed to campaign at will, with the wind at his back.
The campaign reported a record-breaking fundraising total following the verdict, with nearly $53 million raised in just 24 hours. Trump plans to continue his fundraising efforts with upcoming events in California, including a dinner in San Francisco hosted by tech investors and fundraisers in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.
While California may not be a battleground state, Trump’s campaign recognizes the state’s importance as a fundraising hub. The former president’s upcoming events in the state, along with Vice President Kamala Harris’s fundraisers, highlight the crucial role California plays in campaign financing.
