Many showed their support, according to Gasparino, pledging an astounding $30 million to Trump's campaign on Thursday evening.

Minutes after the verdict was read in the first trial of the former president, the former president's team put out a fundraising appeal to supporters.

"Friend: Is this the end of America?," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee asked in the email. "I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial.

"My end-of-month fundraising deadline is just DAYS AWAY!" Trump emphasized in the email, which included a photo of the former president labeling him a "political prisoner."

"Despite a jury finding Donald Trump guilty today, there is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box," the Biden campaign wrote in a fundraising text to supporters Thursday evening. 

And it urged that "if you have been waiting for the perfect time to make your first donation to Joe Biden's reelection campaign, we're here to tell you today is the day."
