Donald Trump's bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 got off to a modest fundraising start, with his campaign ending the year with about US$7 million on hand while his Save America fund had about $18 million, according to financial disclosures released on Tuesday.
After launching his third consecutive run for the White House on Nov. 15, a week after a weaker-than-expected Republican performance in midterm congressional elections, the former U.S. President did little campaigning, not hitting the trail until this Saturday.
But the Save America group that served as his main fundraising arm was registered to fund other campaigns, not Trump's own. That poses legal problems if Trump seeks to use Save America funds on his own campaign. Trump remains the Republican party's most popular figure and is the only major candidate to have declared his intention to challenge Biden, who has not yet formally launched his own reelection campaign. But Trump could face challengers for the nomination, notably Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
