And in figures shared first with Fox News on Friday, MAGA Inc. highlighted that it has nearly $114 million cash-on-hand in its coffers.
The announcement from MAGA Inc. comes a week and a half after Trump's campaign showcased that it and the Republican National Committee hauled in a staggering $331 million in the past three months, topping the massive $264 million raked in by President Biden's re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee during the second quarter.

The super PAC announced a month ago that it would spend $100 million this summer on a major ad blitz in the key battleground states in support of the former president.

Budowich and MAGA Inc.'s finance team are expected to huddle for a series of individual meetings with top donors at next week's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
