Former President Donald Trump’s super PAC raked in more than $4.3 million from donors in the last three months of 2021, according to a new campaign finance report filed Monday.
Fueled mostly by donations of more than $25,000, Trump’s Make America Great Again, Again! group now boasts a balance of about $9.5 million heading into the 2022 elections, when the group could spend millions on campaigns of interest to the former president.
The super PAC’s top donors were Tranquil Path Investments, LTD, of Texas, and ML Organization, LLC, of Florida, which both donated $500,000. Neither group has made a federal political donation before, according to the Federal Election Commission.
After the two holding companies, 10 donors gave donations of $250,000, including Texas state Rep. David Mayes Middleton II, who is also president of Middleton Oil and Gas Company. Other quarter-million dollar givers to the group were major Republican donors Jose Fanjul of Florida, Saul Fox of California, Don Ahern of Nevada, Elaine Beck of Arizona, Holloway Frost of Texas, Diane Hendricks of Wisconsin, Leslie Liautaud of Tennessee, Anthony Lomangino of Florida and Kenny Troutt of Texas.
Trump has endorsed 52 candidates for the U.S. House and Senate this year, in addition to many more down-ballot office candidates across the country, who could get support from the super PAC this year.
The super PAC’s spending has not started in earnest: The largest expenses last year came for event planning and consulting, legal fees and polling, in addition to several smaller billings from Trump’s own businesses.
MAGA, Again! was created when control of the Trump super PAC shifted to former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi from Corey Lewandowski, after Lewandowski was accused by a Trump donor of unwanted sexual advances. Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump’s national finance chair, is also involved with the group. The former super PAC controlled by Lewandowski, Make America Great Again Action, transferred its remaining balance of about $5.7 million to the new group last October.
