Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee announced Tuesday two joint fundraising committees that will raise money for the presidential and down-ticket races.
One of the joint fundraising committees, Trump Victory, will allow maximum individual contributions of $449,400. Trump Victory will raise money for the RNC, the Trump campaign and 11 state parties: Arkansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
The other joint fundraising committee is the Trump Make America Great Again Committee.
“The RNC is excited to team up with the Trump campaign to expand the robust ground, data, and digital operation we have in place to elect Republicans up and down the ballot,” RNC chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement Tuesday. “Donald Trump knows the importance of keeping our Republican majorities at the local, state, and national level, and these joint fundraising agreements are another vital step in making that happen. Donald Trump has received millions more votes than any candidate in the history of the Republican Party and we are confident that will carry forward into the general election.”
Lew Eisenberg, RNC finance chairman, will be the finance chair of Trump Victory.
Priebus said, “Lew has already helped the RNC raise a record $135 million in support this cycle, and I have every confidence his track record of success will continue in this new role.”
“We are pleased to have this partnership in place with the national party. By working together with the RNC to raise support for Republicans everywhere, we are going to defeat Hillary Clinton, keep Republican majorities in Congress and in the states, and Make America Great Again,” Trump said.
