The administration, along with its establishment allies, had hoped that the conviction of Trump on May 30 would lead to a decline in his popularity. However, the opposite has occurred, with Trump's fundraising efforts in May surpassing Biden's by a staggering 65.8 percent.
According to CNBC, the combined fundraising efforts of the Biden campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and their allies amounted to $85 million in May. In stark contrast, the Trump campaign, its allies, and the Republican National Committee raised a whopping $141 million in the same period. Notably, the Trump campaign reported a surge of nearly $53 million in the 24 hours following Trump's conviction in New York on charges of falsifying business records.
