Last week, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) visited the neighboring state of Alabama to help raise funds for former President Donald Trump’s election campaign. The fundraiser took place at a supporter’s home in the Birmingham suburbs and featured Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle as special guests. According to Alabama-based news outlet 1819 News, the event raised over $1 million for Trump’s campaign.
Senator Hagerty played a pivotal role in the fundraiser’s success, with initial totals around $650,000 growing to over a million dollars with his help. Alabama Republican Party chairman John Wahl expressed his satisfaction with the event and highlighted the strong bond between Alabamians and President Trump.
I am very pleased with the success of this event and am thankful to all those who helped make it happen,” Wahl told 1819 News. There were so many great people working on this project, both in and out of state, and I think that highlights the importance of the battle we’re in.
Wahl also emphasized the need for the Republican Party to support Trump’s campaign and uphold the values that have made America great. He noted the longstanding relationship between Alabama and the Trump team, expressing pride in continuing this tradition through the successful fundraiser.
