Donald Trump aims to smash Joe Biden’s record $25 million fundraiser featuring Barack Obama and Bill Clinton with a massive one of his own at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

The April 6th fundraiser in Palm Beach will be hosted by hedge fund manager John Paulson and is expected to bring in $33 million, the Financial Times reported.

‘The response to our fundraising efforts has been overwhelming, and we’ve raised over $33mn so far,’ Paulson told the newspaper. ‘There is massive support amongst a broad spectrum of donors. The dinner is relatively small in nature, and we are almost at our cap.’

The list of 38 co-chairs includes people who served in Trump’s cabinet, including the former ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson, and billionaires from Las Vegas to New York.

Those who give $814,600 per person can sit at Trump’s dinner table, and those who give at least $250,000 with get a photo with Trump a ‘personalized ‘Our Journey Together’ coffee table book.’

Some of Trump’s vanquished rivals – including South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – will join the event. All have now endorsed the former president.

Trump is playing catch up in the fundraising game. The former president is also battling massive legal bills.

His campaign and his Save America political action committee, two key committees in his political operation, reported raising a combined $15.9 million in February and ended the month with more than $37 million on hand,

Biden’s campaign, meanwhile, raised $53 million last month and ended February with $155 million on hand. That includes his joint fundraising with the Democratic National Committee.

Meanwhile, Biden will take the stage at Radio City Hall in New York on Thursday night with his former presidents Obama and Clinton.

The trio of leaders will be interviewed by CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

The Office and The Mindy Project star Mindy Kaling is set to emcee.  A-lists like Vogue editor Anna Wintour will attend.

Donors at the Democratic bash will be entertained by musical guests Lizzo, Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele.

And for those willing to fork over $100,000 to the Biden campaign, they can have their picture taken with all three presidents.

Those who donated at the $250,000 and $500,000 levels will have special invites to separate receptions with the presidential trio.
