South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) heralded the power of President Donald Trump’s nationwide grassroots support during a recent Fox News interview, noting the “millions of small donors that invest” in the president’s 2024 MAGA reelection campaign.
Gov. Noem explained that she believed Trump’s campaign was performing powerfully in the primary race because he’s a “fighter and every day Americans get up and they’re shocked by what they see happening in the United States of America.”
She noted that when Trump was in office, Americans recognize that “they were safer” and “they had more money in their pocket.”
As reported by RSBN, the Trump campaign earned a whopping $35 million in fundraising during the second fiscal quarter of this year, following the $18.8 million that was raised during the first quarter.
Noem weighed in on Trump’s monster fundraising, pointing out that his support didn’t come from big donors, but rather, from passionate American people.
She explained, “President Trump has millions of small donors that invest in him. They maybe aren’t rich people, they aren’t big donors, but they go out there and use their hard-earned money to get a leader elected. I don’t think any of the other candidates have that kind of commitment from the people that invest in them. They have big donors that write them big checks and that is powerful but those small donors that President Trump has really sends another message as well.”
Trump’s chief political opponent in the GOP primary is currently Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who has famously built a sizeable war chest of millions of dollars in his 2024 presidential bid. However, large portions of DeSantis’s campaign donations stem from big donors.
Fox News, for example, reported that around $82 million in June was transferred to DeSantis’s super PAC from a political committee that supported the governor.
At the rate he’s going trashing allies, it’s just a matter of time before Trump bad mouths Kristi. I expect he’ll be dishing on Melania and Barron before it’s over. Somebody has to talk to the guy.
Exactly - that was my first thought.
It’ll happen - start the clock...
She is playing very smart.
Would you call Christie and Pence allies?
Not at this point for damn sure.
Yes, he’s become very self-destructive.
I’d rather a a self destructive Trump as President than an entirely delusional one in Biden.
Trump’s gonna be Trump.
Self-destructive Trump being Trump will not win the election. Consider his 81 million votes in 2016. How many people has he turned away because of his behavior? And, has he gained any new voters?
actually... he will.
win the election that is... unless there is a nuclear war that preempts the process...
I’ll trash her now.
Swamp Rat Noem is the GOPe VP backup plan in case Trump is elected in 2024.
Just like Bush 1.0, long term plan to guarantee a revert to the Swamp
She flip-flopped eventually, but the original veto was to serve donors, not voters.
She’s not as firecracker no wonder fake conservatives hate her
Hot hot 🥵 hot as a firecracker
You talk to him, bonehead.
Biden supposedly had 81,000,000 votes in 2020. Trump supposedly had 77,000,000 ( + or -, rounded up to the millions).
Trump did not have 81,000,000 in 2016.
I’ll take Trump as he is right now over Biden any day.
How can you contribute to Pres. Trump and be sure it IS in fact going to Pres. Trump’s campaign? I don’t trust all these text messages and emails that show up these days.
Like you, he wouldn’t listen.🙂
