The Trump Victory Committee was a joint fundraising committee for Donald J. Trump for President (the Donald Trump presidential campaign organization), the Republican National Committee (RNC), and 11 state Republican committees.[1][2]
Overview
[edit]The Committee's first fundraising dinners were held on May 24, 2016 in Albuquerque and May 25, 2016 in Los Angeles.[1]
Trump's 2020 reelection campaign merged with the RNC into a single "Trump Victory" entity, sharing office space. By tying Trump's reelection campaign to the RNC, it unified 2020 Republican Party presidential campaign.[3]
