Billionaire Megadonor Gives Another $50M To Trump

August 21, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

Politico reports:

A reclusive Republican megadonor gave $50 million to a pro-Trump super PAC in July, following two other massive donations to boost the former president this cycle.

Timothy Mellon, a longtime GOP donor and heir to the Mellon banking fortune, has now given $115 million to the group, Make America Great Again Inc., since the start of 2023. That makes him by far the largest donor to the super PACs backing Donald Trump’s candidacy this cycle.

Mellon also previously gave $25 million to a super PAC backing Democrat-turned-independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential bid over five separate donations dating back to 2023. His last donation to that super PAC was in April.
