The donations demonstrate his influence in American politics. Trump Raises More Than 50 Million After Historic Verdict.
Donald Trump’s campaign team reported this Friday that it has managed to raise more than $50 million in small online donations in just 24 hours, following the historic guilty verdict against him.
That’s nearly double the previous best day of fundraising for his campaign on WinRed, the Republican Party’s official donation platform, according to his aides.

Impact of the Verdict on the Trump Campaign
A jury in New York found the former president guilty of 34 counts of falsifying accounting documents.
These charges are related to a payment intended to silence an adult film actress and avoid a sex scandal during the final stretch of his 2016 presidential campaign.
Although Trump was released without bail after the hearing, he faces a possible sentence of up to four years in prison on each count, although he is more likely to receive probation.
Despite this conviction, Trump is not prevented from continuing his campaign to unseat Joe Biden in the next presidential election, even in the unlikely event that he is imprisoned.

Trump reaction
This Friday, Trump criticized the verdict, calling the criminal process “very unfair” and politicized. “It was very unfair (…) you saw what happened to some of the witnesses on our side. They literally crucified them,” Trump declared in a speech at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Trump has become the first former US president to be convicted of a crime.
However, despite the legal challenges, his campaign has seen a significant increase in financial support, reflecting renewed enthusiasm among his supporters.

Other Criminal Proceedings
The 77-year-old Republican faces three other criminal proceedings with more serious accusations related to his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and for the improper handling of classified documents that he took to his residence after leaving the White House.
However, these cases are not expected to reach the trial phase before the November elections.
These additional cases could influence public perception and Trump’s campaign, but so far, the response from his supporters has been one of strong financial support and support.
