"Trump's Fundraising Blitz: Megadonors vs. Voters"

Donald Trump is aggressively courting potential megadonors for his campaign, securing financial commitments from several Republican megadonors including hotel executive Don Ahern, casino billionaires Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, and aerospace tycoon Robert Bigelow. Trump is targeting donors who have not previously supported him, such as Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn and Rebekah Mercer. His efforts to bring aboard major donors will continue, with senior Trump adviser Susie Wiles appearing before a gathering of major GOP donors. Trump has significantly ramped up his outreach to the party's donor elite, spending at least five hours per week calling contributors and sending souvenirs to those who've opened their wallets.
