Former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign on Sunday sent out an appeal to an authorized GoFundMe drive that has raised over $1 million for the victims of the shooting at Trump's Pennslyvania rally.
"From Trump: FEAR NOT. It is more important than ever that we stand UNITED," a text to supporters read along with a link to the fundraising drive.
Meredith O'Rourke, Trump's top finance person, is listed as the GoFundMe drive organizer. As of Sunday afternoon, more than $1 million had been pledged. The fundraiser's initial goal was $1 million.
Law enforcement has said that at least one person was killed during the attempted assassination of Trump. Two other people were critically injured, State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens told reporters late Saturday night. All three were adult males. At this time, no further information about the victims, including the deceased, has been released.
Trump spoke in Butler, Pennslyvania, in a final rally before Republicans gathered in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. After shots rang out, Secret Service agents quickly rushed to the stage to shield the former president. Trump said he was struck by a bullet that grazed his ear.
"Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday morning, referencing how the bullet was inches from hitting him in the head.
Several prominent Trump supporters have donated to the fundraising drive. Musician Kid Rock donated $50,000, and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy donated $30,000.
A request for comment sent to Trump campaign representatives was not immediately returned.
