In a bid to secure campaign funds for the upcoming general election, Donald Trump's presidential campaign has unveiled a tiered system of titles for donations to his new joint fundraising operation with national and state Republican Party committees. According to a contribution form obtained by CNN, these titles correspond to specific contribution levels.

At the highest level of the Trump 47 Committee, aptly named "Ultra MAGA," individuals who donate $814,600 – the current limit per person – can claim this prestigious title. This is followed by "Team Trump 2024" for those donating $250,000, "Team America First" for $100,000, "Club 47" for $50,000, and "MAGA 24" for donations amounting to $24,000.

As previously reported by CNN, the Trump campaign is planning its inaugural major event for the joint fundraising committee on April 6th in Florida. This event, hosted by hedge fund founder John Paulson, aims to attract some of the wealthiest donors within the Republican Party. The campaign hopes to raise a staggering $33 million during the event.

Contributors at the top level, dubbed "Ultra MAGA," will enjoy special perks, including an exclusive seat at Trump's dinner table, a personalized photo opportunity, and a copy of Trump's "Our Journey Together" coffee table book. However, a Trump campaign aide declined to comment on the specifics of these fundraising levels.

In the race for campaign dollars, President Joe Biden has currently outpaced his predecessor. During a star-studded New York fundraiser, Biden, joined by former White House occupants Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, managed to raise over $26 million, according to the Biden campaign. Biden is also engaging in joint fundraising activities with various Democratic Party committees.

Contributions to the Trump 47 Committee benefit several entities, including Trump's campaign itself, his leadership PAC which covers his legal expenses, the Republican National Committee, and approximately 40 state party committees. The joint fundraising committee was established earlier this month as a result of Trump's newly assumed leadership position within the RNC.
