John, Donald Trump just claimed to raise $50 million from his billionaire friends.

But in order to tell the true story of this fundraiser, we need to go back to 2017.

ELECTIONS: Trump campaign says it raised more than $50 million at Saturday fundraiser

In 2017, Donald Trump was president, and Republicans held majorities in the House and Senate.

In the dead of night, the week before Christmas 2017, Republican senators invited corporate lobbyists to contribute to sections of Trump’s tax scam bill and passed it on a party-line vote.

The Trump-Republican tax law added trillions to the deficit, with most of the benefits going to a tiny sliver of the very wealthiest individuals and corporations in this country.

Those tax cuts are coming due for renewal in the next four years, and that’s all his MAGA mega-donors care about.

The message at Trump’s Palm Beach fundraiser was clear: Support my campaign, and I’ll extend your tax cuts.

Trump’s $50 million fundraiser represents everything that’s broken with our politics and campaign finance system. Before Trump’s next big-dollar event in Atlanta tonight, can you rush $3 to help fight back?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had to rebuild our economy from the moment they came into office — in the face of constant Republican opposition.

Trump has the worst jobs record in modern U.S. history — 3 million jobs lost.

Joe Biden has the best — 15 million jobs created, more than the last three Republican presidents, combined.

We can’t have another Trump term extending tax cuts for his mega-donors and leaving everyone else holding the bag while ignoring the real economic needs of the American people — chip in $3 or any amount before Trump’s next fundraiser to help me fight back, defend the Senate, and defeat Trump in November.

Thanks for your commitment to creating a more just, loving nation by my side.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
