Zip codes donating the most money to Donald Trump in Illinois

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:12 GMT

In November of last year, former President Donald Trump announced his plans to run for president again in 2024. Despite potential complications presented by his indictment over falsifying business records in March and a jury finding him liable for defamation and sexual abuse in civil court in May, Trump has not announced any changes to his re-election bid; in fact, the Trump campaign announced an influx of donations after his grand jury indictment, signaling continued support from his base.However, Trump's broader appeal in the context of the 2024 presidential race remains unclear.

They’d stationed themselves at the base of The Panhandle to cheer on ...
