CHARLOTTE — More than a dozen companies and people with addresses in the Carolinas made substantial contributions to President Donald Trump’s inauguration committee, Federal Election Commission records show.
The committee raised roughly $239 million, more than double the previous record. Across North Carolina and South Carolina, nearly $2.5 million was gifted to the 47th president’s inauguration.
That total is a fraction of what was raised from some other parts of the country — such as the San Francisco Bay Area, where tech giants helped push the combined contributions from that region over $30 million. South Florida donors coughed up $22 million, while the Dallas-Fort Worth metro put in nearly $20 million, according to CBJ’s sister publications in those areas.
Notable names on the list of donors from the Carolinas include people with involvement now or previously in Trump’s administrations.
