Hyundai Motor America, Nvidia Corp. and Target Corp. made seven-figure donations to fund President Donald Trump’s record-breaking haul for his second inauguration, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
Trump netted a record $239 million for the inaugural committee, easily topping the $107 million he raised eight years before. It’s also more than the combined $157 million that former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden — the Democrats he followed into office — raised for their three combined inaugurations…
Poultry producer Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. gave $5 million, the single biggest donation to the committee. There were more than 140 donors who gave $1 million or more, the filing shows.
Federal law allows inaugural committees to largely determine their own rules about who can contribute and how much, though donations from foreign nationals and foreign corporations are barred from giving.
