Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, U.S., July 29, 2023.
Less than two hours after news of the charges broke, Trump's campaign blasted out an email to supporters seeking donations, titled: BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP INDICTED.
In the week following the indictment, the campaign sent out 34 fundraising emails directly referencing the criminal charges, according to a Reuters review of campaign communications.
Following the indictment, Trump's support rose to 49% in an April 21-24 survey while DeSantis slipped to 23%.
He raised much less money in the days after his second indictment, according to campaign finance disclosures.
