Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party officially kicked off their high-dollar general election fundraising operation Saturday evening, with major donors -- both his vocal loyalists and those just now getting off the sidelines -- gathering in Palm Beach, Florida, to support the GOP's presumptive nominee. For the second time this election cycle, former first lady Melania Trump was publicly seen joining the former president for a political occasion after she was last seen with her husband publicly at a polling location in Palm Beach on Florida's primary election day. The fundraiser, hosted by billionaire John Paulson, has brought in more than $50 million for the Trump campaign and the Republican Party, according to the organizers, which would eclipse President Joe Biden's fundraiser with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in New York last weekend, where they said they raised $26 million.
