President Trump said he raised $1.5 billion since he was elected in November, hitting a milestone in contributions.
“I am pleased to report that I have raised, since the Great Presidential Election of 2024, in various forms and political entities, in excess of 1.5 Billion Dollars. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he wrote early Wednesday on Truth Social.
The main super PAC affiliated with Trump, MAGA Inc., reported nearly $200 million in the bank this month, as it looks ahead to the 2026 midterms in which control of Congress will be up for grabs.
The president has said he will “probably not” seek a constitutionally prohibited third term, adding in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box” earlier this month though that he would like to run again and citing his polling numbers.
Trump and some of his allies have repeatedly floated the idea of seeking a third term. At times, those comments have been dismissed as a joke, though he has at other points appeared more serious about the idea despite the 22nd Amendment prohibiting an individual from being elected to more than two terms.
Vice President Vance, meanwhile, said Trump “talks about everything” when asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he has had conversations with the president about him passing the torch to him.
“And if it’s in the news, the president and I have certainly discussed it. But I think the president is just focused on doing a good job for the American people,” Vance said. “He wants me to be focused on doing a good job for the American people.”
The president recently said it was too soon to settle on a successor to serve as the Republican nominee in 2028, but he acknowledged Vance is the “most likely” heir apparent. Trump also suggested Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who ran for president in 2016, could make a formidable ticket with Vance.
