Billionaire Tim Mellon's $50m donation to Trump's Pac significantly boosted Trump's post-conviction campaign funds. Mellon has now contributed $75m to Trump and $25m to Robert F Kennedy Jr this year, becoming the first donor to hit $100m in disclosed federal contributions for this election.
Trump's fundraising surged post-conviction with $141m in May, erasing Biden's financial lead. Trump's campaign fund stood at $116.6m by May-end, surpassing Biden's $91.6m. Mellon's substantial donations reflect the significant support from the billionaire class towards Trump's campaign.
Mellon has been a significant Republican donor, with past contributions including $50m to Texas governor Greg Abbott's border wall fund. His donations in 2020 and 2022 saw him ranked sixth and fifth in the list of prolific US donors, highlighting his consistent support for conservative causes.
