Donald Trump, accused of irregular payment to the porn actress Stormy Daniels and who must appear next Tuesday before the New York judge handling the case, boasted this Sunday of “never having had as much support and love as now.”
The former president wrote on his social network, Truth Social, that this support is actually “against the radical leftists, rioters, extortionists, political scoundrels and thugs who are tearing our country apart.”
Earlier, he had posted yet another petition to raise funds in his re-election campaign, a petition aimed specifically at the wealthy: “If you have done well, which was made possible by the great policies of the Trump Administration, says in third person , send your contribution to donaldjtrump.com,” he writes.
On Friday it was learned that Donald Trump’s campaign had raised $4 million in just 24 hours, the days after his indictment was made known.
A quarter of that million dollars came from new benefactors, the organization explained in a statement on Friday, adding that the average amount of donations was $34, which suggests that there have been a large number of small donors. .
The former president published a statement on Sunday morning in which he released a survey that favors his electoral interests, after months ago he announced his intention to compete for the Republican nomination.
The poll highlights that former President Trump maintains a significant lead over his opponents in the Republican primaries, and also over Joe Biden.
Out of 14 possible Republican primary candidates, former President Trump leads with 51% of the vote, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 21%, former Vice President Mike Pence with 6% and Nikki Haley with 4%, while everyone else has 2% or less.
In a poll from last January prepared by his organization, Trump led with 43%, followed by DeSantis with 31%, so Trump’s advantage has gone from 12 points to 30 points.
The poll, based on a sample of 1,000 likely voters for the 2024 general election and conducted on behalf of Donald Trump’s campaign for president, was completed over a two-day period on March 31 and April 1.
