Former President Donald Trump raised $14.4 million for his main campaign committee in the first quarter of 2023, with donations spiking at the end of March as news broke of his indictment by a Manhattan grand jury. GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley's campaign appears to have double-counted money routed among her fundraising committees, overstating the topline figure. Embattled New York Rep. George Santos refunded more contributions than he took in during the first three months of the year. Some of the Democratic Party’s most vulnerable Senate incumbents have stepped up their fundraising ahead of tough 2024 election fights.
