This morning, the former president kicked off his Western state swing in Phoenix by criticizing President Biden's executive order on immigration. He vowed to terminate every open borders policy of the current administration once he takes office. In response, the Biden Harris camp accused Trump of blocking bipartisan border legislation that would have enhanced national security and curbed the flow of fentanyl into the country.
A recent poll indicates a close race in the battleground state of Phoenix, with Trump leading Biden by a narrow margin. While Trump may face challenges in winning the state electorally, he is garnering significant financial support in California. Tech investors in San Francisco hosted a private fundraiser for Trump, expected to raise over $10 million. Additional events in Southern California are also contributing to Trump's substantial post-verdict war chest, which includes reported funds of $141 million from the campaign and Republican National Committee, along with $150 million from supporting organizations.
Furthermore, a leading super PAC backing Trump's campaign has raised nearly $70 million. On the other hand, the Biden campaign is gearing up for a Hollywood fundraiser with support from celebrities like George Clooney and Julia Roberts. The fundraising efforts on both sides highlight the financial stakes involved in the upcoming election.
