Donald Trump’s campaign announced a huge $18 million money haul in the 24 hours since the first presidential debate Monday night — coming from small- and large-dollar donors alike.
“As a result of Donald Trump’s huge debate win last night, we had a massive fundraising day bringing in more than $18 million,” Trump finance chairman Steven Mnuchin said in a statement.
“We are grateful for the support of millions of Americans across the country. With this kind of energy and generous support behind us, we are going to have President Donald J. Trump in the White House,” he added.
The campaign claims the national fundraiser was coordinated by six distinctive teams: “Team YUUUGE,” “Team MAGA,” “Team IRREDEEMABLES,” “Team Deplorables,” “Team Trump Digital Fundraising” and “Team Trump.”
The teams were led by Mnuchin, Republican National Committee finance chairman Lew Eisenberg, Jets owner Woody Johnson, Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, digital director Brad Parscale, vice presidential nominee Gov. Mike Pence, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and Trump’s children Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump.
“The National Call Day was a tremendous success. Many donors came on board as Donald J. Trump rolls on to victory,” Eisenberg said in a statement.
