Donald Trump has been convicted on all 34 counts, making him the first former President to be convicted as a felon.
This conviction is a huge step towards accountability and justice for America, but with it comes an overwhelming fundraising surge by the MAGA base. The Trump campaign claimed Friday morning that they saw a $34.8 million fundraising boost within the first 12 hours of the verdict being announced.
The MAGA base, undeterred by the verdict, are seeing this as a rallying point to inject substantial financial support to counteract the perceived political targeting of Trump. This scenario poses a significant challenge as we approach the 2024 presidential election with a convicted felon leading the Republican ticket.
As MAGA gears up to back Trump, we must escalate our efforts to safeguard democratic values and ensure that this surge in fundraising does not overshadow the fundamental principles of justice and accountability. It's imperative that we not only highlight the implications of this fundraising phenomenon but also actively work to counter its impact.
