Trump aims to trounce Biden's record $26 million haul at upcoming Florida fundraiser: 'We feel really good'
Former President Donald Trump is aiming to break a brand-new fundraising record just set by President Biden.
Biden, in a fundraising appearance with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at New York City's Radio City Music Hall on Thursday night, hauled in over $26 million.
The president's re-election campaign called the money raised at the star-studded event — which set a record for a single fundraiser — "historic."
The fundraising haul helped Biden boost his already massive cash advantage over Trump.

But the former president is looking to rake in up to $33 million when he teams up with some of the wealthiest Republicans in the country at a April 6 fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida. A source familiar with details of the fundraiser confirmed the dollar amount, which was first reported by the Financial Times.
Billionaire investor and hedge fund founder John Paulson is hosting the top-dollar fundraiser, which is the kickoff event for the recently formed Donald J. Trump National Committee.
The event will include major contributors, some of whom stayed on the sidelines or supported the former president's rivals during the recently concluded primary season.
Among those listed as co-chairs of the fundraiser are hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer. They were major boosters of Trump in 2016 but mostly sat out the former president's 2020 re-election campaign.
