Additions to Politics section

[edit]

Hello, I am working to bring the article up to date and ensure its accuracy. I have some new content to suggest adding to the Politics section:

In May 2016, Buchan and his wife donated $898,000 to Trump Victory, the highest permitted amount by federal campaign laws.[1] They were the first to give $1 million to the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign and have subsequently donated and raised millions more, while remaining among the top two donors for years.[2]
According to campaign finance records, Buchan donated over $940,000 to the Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign.[3]
In 2021, he was named as National Finance Chair of the Republican National Committee.[3]
In April 2024, Buchan led a Palm Beach fundraising dinner that raised $50.5 million for the Trump campaign.[2]
In June 2024, Buchan organized the first fundraiser for Donald Trump's presidential campaign outside the US, thought to have raised up to $3 million.[4][5] According to the Financial Times, Buchan noted that the Trump campaign chose to hold the event in London due to the “special relationship” between the US and UK.[4] The fundraiser had over 100 in attendance, including Donald Trump Jr.[6]

I added info on his 2020 donations and 2021 finance chair appointment. Others may add the 2016 donation and 2024 fundraising details if considered helpful to the article. —ADavidB 19:17, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
