Ivanka Trump’s ‘Yuge’ fundraising better than Obama’s

First daughter Ivanka Trump likes to have fun quoting her father’s trademark ‘Yuge’ when talking about the president and his efforts in office.

But in the last three months, it’s her travels and fundraising for President Trump that officials said deserve a “Yuge,” and even “Yistoric.”

Since August, she has hosted 32 events, nine of them fundraisers and mostly in person, to promote the president’s reelection and raise money. Trump regularly gets audiences far bigger than Democratic challenger Joe Biden, such as the 3,000 in Sarasota, Florida, this week.

But importantly, said insiders, she has raised a boatload of money, $35 million and counting.

Along the way, the 39-year-old, who celebrates her birthday today, has broken a major fundraising record set by former President Obama. At an Austin fundraiser last month, one of nine, she raised $4.5 million, breaking his $3.8 million set in 2014.

And this week, in California, she hauled in over $10 million at three events in one day.

“Our donors were thrilled to hear directly from Ivanka Trump about the policies her father has delivered on and his vision for the next four years,” cheered Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who has traveled with Trump.
