Trump brings in record-breaking $250 million for inaugural fundraising

President-elect Donald Trump is marking his return to the White House with a record-breaking fundraising total of $250 million for his inaugural efforts, sources familiar with Trump's fundraising told ABC News.

This total includes the official Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee as well as Trump's other big fundraising vehicles that have been putting together his inaugural festivities this weekend, surpassing his first inaugural fundraising total of $107 million.

As ABC News has reported, Trump's second inauguration has had notable support from numerous tech giants openly celebrating his return to the White House, with Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Shou Chew and Jeff Bezos initially expected to be given prime seats at the inauguration.

Major inaugural tech donations include $1 million each from Meta, Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Uber. For Meta, in particular, this is the first time they've donated to a presidential inauguration, while Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft have contributed to past presidential inaugurations.

Trump's inaugural committee has also received major donations from the cryptocurrency industry, including $5 million from Ripple, $2 million from Robinhood, and $1 million from Coinbase, sources told ABC News. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty met with Trump earlier this month, they posted on social media.

Other major corporations that have donated historically donated to presidential inaugurations have also donated this time as well, including Bank of America and Boeing.

Supporters have high hopes for second Trump term

Trump's supporters traveled from across the country to celebrate his victory Sunday, waiting for hours in the rain and cold to enter the Capital One Arena in Washington. But tonight, Trump is not rallying on the campaign trail -- he's facing supporters who have high expectations for what he'll accomplish.

Supporters here tell us they expect Trump to quickly bring down the cost of goods, close the border, and end the wars overseas.

Darrin Cummings, a 19-year-old, said he traveled to D.C. to witness the "greatest comeback in American history," saying his top priority is for Trump to end the war in Ukraine.

A group of women who traveled from North Carolina said they have "very high expectations" that Trump will return their lives to how they remember things were four years ago: cheaper and more peaceful.

A crowd of Trump fans even traveled from Canada, telling me they are hopeful that Trump can also "make Canada great again."
