Another breaking record — the sum Trump raised for inauguration

Donald Trump’s inauguration will take place in Washington, D.C., today at 19:00 Kyiv time. A record amount of money has been raised for the events related to the new President’s oath taking.

It was reported by the newspaper Associated Press.

How much Trump raised for inaugural events

The newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, has raised more than $170 million for his inauguration in 2025. This is a record amount. Trump has managed to raise more than twice the amount for his inauguration in 2025 than Joe Biden raised four years ago.

The funds raised by the inaugural committee of the newly elected President can be used to pay for various events. For example, the money could go towards the ceremony itself, as well as the parade and inaugural balls. The remaining funds are likely to be used for Trump’s future presidential library.

It should be added that this is not the first time Trump has set such a record. At his inauguration in 2017, he also collected a record amount of donations at that time. It was almost $107 million.

As a reminder, Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony will be moved indoors. The newly elected Head of the United States explained this by the cold weather. This will be the first time in 40 years.

On his last day in office, Joe Biden said he was "not going anywhere". The politician explained that he would remain in public life after he left the White House.
