The Magnificent Seven
Timothy Mellon, a longtime GOP donor and heir to the Mellon banking fortune, “gave $50 million to a pro-Trump super PAC in July, following two other massive donations to boost the former president this cycle,” Politico reports.
“He has now given $115 million to the group, Make America Great Again Inc., since the start of 2023. That makes him by far the largest donor to the super PACs backing Donald Trump’s candidacy this cycle.”
