NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign is expecting to raise more than $40 million on Saturday when major donors gather for his biggest fundraiser yet. The event at the Palm Beach, Florida, home of billionaire investor John Paulson is expected to bring in $43 million, according to the host. It’s expected to top the single-event fundraising record recently set by Democratic President Joe Biden, who raised $26 million at a gathering with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Trump and the Republican Party have struggled to catch up to Biden and the Democrats on the fundraising front. Biden and the Democrats say they took in more than $90 million last month and had $192 million-plus on hand.
