Our big story tonight, former President Donald Trump made a
stop here in Central Florida.
It comes after he spent the morning campaigning in Georgia.
Tonight, attorney Dan Newland hosted a big money fundraiser,
Fox 30 Fives. Manny Martinez is live in Orange County
right now.
So Manny, the former president,
hope to raise a whole lot of cash.
Yeah, Luanne, the goal was millions.
The former president left here around 7:30,
meaning he was here for a couple of hours.
Those with deep pockets made it inside.
Others stood out here to watch.
Former President Donald Trump pulled into this Orange County neighborhood
as dozens of his fans lined the street eager to
catch a glimpse.
I don't think it's enough.
I think we need a million people out here.
They even stopped traffic to make sure drivers and Trump
got their message.
The former president attended A fundraiser hosted by attorney Dan
Newland.
The buy in a cool 5000 bucks a person with
some tickets going for 824,000.
If I had a deep pockets and maybe if I
won the lottery,
I'll be there. But that's OK.
The Trump campaign is in an all out fundraising blitz.
He was in Atlanta earlier in the day and in
Palm Beach last weekend,
where he raised a record 50 million at one event.
Money is not the only thing that matters in an
election,
but it is one of the most important things.
UCF political science professor Aubrey Jewett says Money buys ads
and campaign mobilization,
both of them crucial in a tight race.
The Trump campaign is trying to catch up with Biden's.
Through March, Biden's team had twice as much cash.
The Trump team is definitely geared up.
They know they have their work cut out for him.
They know that if they want to have the best
chance of winning.
They have to try to catch up in the fundraising
with Joe Biden.
And Trump's team said they expected to raise 15,000,000,
a combined total between both fundraisers today alone.
And the polls right now show that Biden and Trump
are in a statistical tie.
And when you join us tonight at 11,
I'll tell you who is now coming out to say
they will be campaigning and fundraising for Trump.
Hint was a former campaign rival live in Orange County.
