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. Unlike Trump, both accepted voluntary limits on the amount donors could give.
