President Trump announced this week that his political operation has raised over $1.5 billion since winning the 2024 election. The massive post-election haul solidifies his continued dominance over Republican politics and positions his network as the financial backbone for a GOP surge in the 2026 midterms. Funds have flowed through multiple entities including MAGA Inc. and the leadership PAC Never Surrender.
MAGA Inc. alone brought in nearly $177 million in the first half of 2025. Never Surrender added another $28 million. As of June, cash reserves across Trump-aligned committees totaled $234 million. These figures are uncommon for a second-term president, marking a deliberate strategy to maintain political influence beyond the Oval Office.
The Trump team has ramped up fundraising through digital outreach, high-dollar donor events, and merchandise campaigns. The operation is leveraging the enduring strength of the MAGA base, with small-dollar donors continuing to fuel the movement. According to campaign insiders, the goal is to secure Republican control of Congress, shield allies from Democrat-led investigations, and keep President Trump’s political agenda at the forefront.
In a Truth Social post, Trump emphasized that the money raised since the “Great Presidential Election of 2024” is part of a broader effort to Make America Great Again. Analysts note that this ongoing fundraising reflects a shift in presidential leadership, where traditional limits on political campaigning have faded and the president remains an active party leader.
Despite criticism from political opponents, Trump’s fundraising juggernaut shows no signs of slowing. The war chest is already shaping the 2026 battlefield, with targeted spending expected in swing districts and Senate races.
