New Jersey may be a blue state but as far as Donald Trump is concerned, it’s green.

Townsquare Media looked through campaign filings with the Federal Election Commission to see which New Jersey residents have donated the most money to the presidential campaigns so far. Below, you will find a list of Trump’s biggest boosters in the state.

Out of all the presidential candidates seeking the White House next year, Donald Trump has so far hauled in the most campaign donations from New Jersey, a state he lost to Joe Biden by 16 points in 2020.

An important caveat, though: This is just the money received by the official campaigns. It doesn't include the legally unlimited amounts of money being raised by the independent groups known as super PACs, which have not yet released their financial reports.

In terms of the official campaign fundraising, however, President Biden is not only losing to Trump in the money race in the Garden State but he’s lagging former Gov. Chris Christie, who ended his governorship of New Jersey with his approval rating in tatters.

Trump appears to be benefiting from many donations of smaller amounts from many contributors. Nationwide out of all declared candidates, the former president took in nearly $15.74 million in donations of $200 or less. Donations to Trump of $2,000 or more amounted to just $1.69 million, according to FEC data ending in June.

By contrast, Ron DeSantis, Trump’s closest GOP competitor, raised just $3.48 million in donations of $200 or less and $14.32 million from donations of $2,000 or more.

Biden’s campaign receipts were balanced among large and small donations: $9.3 million of the smallest variety and $7.94 million on the higher end.
