In May, Trump and \u200bhis associated groups raised $141 million, surpassing Biden&#8217;s \u2062campaign and allied groups&#8217; $85 million by a substantial margin. This\u200b fundraising success was \u200bbolstered by nearly $53\u200c million raised in the 24 hours following Trump&#8217;s conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Biden&#8217;s campaign having more cash on hand throughout the year and outspending Trump in media advertising, including over $65 \u200bmillion on TV ads, \u2064Trump has not aired general election ads on television. However, he plans to change this approach as a super PAC allied with him, MAGA Inc., is set \u200cto flood the airwaves with $100 million\u200d worth of ads leading up to\u2063 Labor Day,\u200b supported by significant donations including a $50 \u200dmillion contribution from Timothy Mellon.

Experts Weigh In\">falsifying business records<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The establishment\u2019s sham trial, therefore, had the ironic effect of bolstering the presumptive GOP nominee\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n<p>But the verdict alone did not account for Trump\u2019s spectacular May. In fact, even without that $53 million surge, the former president and his allies would have outraised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-plummets-64-voters-union-households\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden<\/a> and his allies by $3 million.<\/p>\n<p>That sounds even more impressive in light of the fact that May\u2019s haul gave Biden his second-best fundraising month this cycle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Will the sham conviction of Trump ultimately help him in the polls?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In terms of cash on hand, Trump\u2019s campaign has lagged far behind the president\u2019s for much of this year. But the infusion of cash last month followed an April fundraising performance that also saw the former president outraise his rival $76 million to $51 million, thereby closing the cash gap.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/06\/20\/trump-conviction-fundraising-campaign-donations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>, those results could \u201cdramatically reshape the presidential race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, for instance, the Biden campaign has managed to \u201csignificantly outspend Trump\u2019s effort on the airwaves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That effort from the president and his allies has included more than $65 million in television ads.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, the Trump campaign, as of Thursday, \u201chad not aired a single general-election ad on television,\u201d the Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>Anecdotal evidence from here in western Pennsylvania supports those figures. Whereas the Biden campaign \u2014 true to the president\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidens-declaration-war-4-takeaways-state-union-address\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">totalitarian nature<\/a> \u2014 has run attack ads using the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-joe-rogan-blasts-disturbing-media-deception-trumps-bloodbath-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bloodbath<\/a>\u201d hoax and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-megyn-kelly-savagely-fact-checks-bill-maher-twice-sets-straight-trump-jan-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">figments of liberals\u2019 imaginations<\/a>, the Trump campaign has yet to answer.<\/p>\n<p>Happily, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/president\/general\/2024\/pennsylvania\/trump-vs-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RealClearPolitics<\/a> average of polls, for the last few months, Trump has maintained a consistent lead of 1 to 4 percentage points in the Keystone State.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, the Biden campaign\u2019s lies will no longer go unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Post, the Trump-allied super PAC MAGA Inc. intends to flood the airwaves with $100 million worth of ads through Labor Day.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, Biden and the establishment have their Soviet-style tactics to thank for that. One day after Trump\u2019s conviction, transportation executive Timothy Mellon gave MAGA Inc. a gargantuan $50 million donation.<\/p>\n<p>The Post did not indicate what kind of ads the super PAC intends to air. But milquetoast voice-overs blaming Biden (correctly) for inflation and promising garden-variety tax cuts will not justify the expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is too smart for that anyway. Post-conviction, he has a story that will allow him to empathize with other victims of injustice, including the millions who have suffered due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidenomics-destroying-america-mays-jobs-report-proof\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bidenomics<\/a>, the president\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/illegal-immigrants-charged-horrific-death-12-year-old-released-u-s-border-patrol-weeks-prior\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lax border<\/a> policies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/j6er-reveals-jesus-saved-life-fbi-itching-something-happen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deep-state oppression<\/a> and establishment <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-official-hints-american-support-helping-ukraine-attack-russia-shocking-policy-shift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warmongering<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>They never expected it to go this way.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>I heard a chilling comment the other day: \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>That wasn\u2019t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet.
