Funds were raised thanks to significant support from individuals and corporations. Among the most notable contributions are $1 million from tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, Meta and Uber. Aerospace corporations Boeing and Lockheed Martin also joined this list, donating a similar amount together.
According to the information, more than 60% of the 40 famous philanthropists did not participate in the financing of Trump’s first inauguration in 2017. By comparison, the committee raised about $107 million then, while his primary opponent, Joe Biden, raised just $62 million during his own 2021 inaugural campaign.
Financial success is accompanied by discussions about transparency and funding rules. Campaign experts have expressed concern about insufficient regulation of such donations, especially from corporations. This raises questions about the possible influence of donors on the policies of the future administration.
The inauguration of Donald Trump is scheduled for January 20.
