A host of conservative figures have poured money into aGoFundMe page for the victims of the shooting at Donald Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally — with it now nearing $2 million in total donations.

The former president survived an assassination attempt, suffering a bullet wound to his ear. Onerally-goer died and two were critically injured.

In the wake of the harrowing incident, Meredith O’Rourke, the national finance director and senior advisor to Trump, launched a “President Trump Authorized” GoFundMe page for the victims of the tragedy.

“All donations will be directed to these proud Americans as they grieve and recover. May God bless and unite our nation,” according to the fundraiser, which has raised more than $1.8 million, as of Sunday afternoon.

Famous figures have flocked to the fundraiser, donating considerable amounts in the day since the shock shooting. Musician and Trump advocate Kid Rock and president of Ultimate Fighting Championship Dana White each donated $50,000 to the fund.

“I am absolutely SICK to my stomach and in complete shock,” White said on his Instagram account on Saturday evening after learning that the former president had been shot. “I can’t WAIT to stand up on stage with him on Thursday and introduce him at the Republican National Convention and tell the WORLD exactly the character of the friend and man I KNOW!!”

Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, failed GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, rightwing commentator Benny Johnson, and billionaire Bill Ackman have also contributed to the campaign.
