Trump Indictment Could Be a 2024 Cash Cow
Campaign Finance,Donald Trump,2024 Presidential Election,Republican Party
For most people, getting arrested is usually a bad thing. Then again, most people aren't former President Donald Trump.
Ahead of his impending indictment by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, some believe the former president's arrest could be just the boost his presidential campaign needs as he seeks to consolidate conservative support ahead of the next election, offering him an opportunity to galvanize his political base and boost fundraising off of the outrage of his arrest at the hands of liberal district attorney Alvin Bragg.
His campaign, it seems, is already running with it. While Trump was not arrested Tuesday as previously expected, his campaign sent scores of emails and communications to his supporters over the weekend seeking to rile up voters about the arrest, with a prompt to donate clearly listed at the end of each email.
