Lara Trump, the recently appointed co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), proclaimed on Wednesday that the GOP had experienced its “most successful fundraising weekend” to date.
“I am proud to announce that last weekend the GOP had the largest digital fundraising weekend since 2020. Much more to come… we are just getting started!” the daughter-in-law to former President Trump posted on X.

While Lara Trump did not disclose the exact figure, her announcement is perceived positively by social media users, especially in light of reports from The Post Millennial criticizing the previous RNC co-chair, Ronna McDaniel, for extravagant expenditures despite limited electoral success.
“I think that the change in leadership at the RNC has really inspired a lot of people to give. This past weekend we had our best fundraising weekend since 2020,” Trump said in an interview with Newsmax.

Just days before Trump’s celebration of fundraising success, the RNC underwent a substantial overhaul, terminating over 60 individuals, indicating a significant shakeup under the new leadership.

Since taking on her new role as RNC co-chair, Trump has been outspoken about the need for strategic revitalization. Emphasizing the importance of restoring trust in the electoral process, she asserted, “we must ensure that the issues surrounding the 2020 election never recur.”
Additionally, Trump has prioritized introducing legal ballot harvesting to the RNC. “We’ve been playing checkers, while the Democrats have been playing chess,” she remarked earlier this month.
