A text message from Trump — one of many he has sent this day — seems as urgent as it is nonsensical. "We will provide President Trump with the final 2020 Election Day donor list in one hour. Make sure your name is up. Donate now," the Trump campaign sent supporters in mid-afternoon local time. Trump most likely isn't collecting names from strangers. And these money-raising tricks don't make much sense: No one will end up matching a donation, and if anyone tries, they would end up going outside the legal campaign contribution limits of $2,800 per candidate per election. But since there is still Election Day, the Trump campaign still has funds left to make these requests by almost any method possible.
Because? Because Trump may desperately need those donations in the coming days, weeks or even months. The US elections, in the air due to the result in a handful of key states: Biden asks for "patience" and Trump considers himself the winner, accusing the Democrats of promoting a "fraud" "Although campaigns often end on Election Day, the costs Middle East Phone Number List associated with them do not have to end there," explains Nick Penniman, CEO and founder of Issue One, an organization that aims to reform the American two-party system. Some reasons Trump might need more money: Disputed votes. While the Republican Party had cash to shoulder the costs of the recount and legal fights, the Trump campaign itself will likely have to pony up some as well. In addition, he will have to continue paying workers and assuming his own costs if election day extends too long.
Debt. Throughout October, Trump's campaign has burned through much of his once-sizable budget. It is possible that the campaign's accounts will begin to be in the red, in which case Trump's team will continue to need injections and donations, unless the president himself decides to start paying his own bills. In his bid for a second term, the until now president has refused to contribute a single cent of his fortune. Legal issues. Trump's campaign is facing significant scrutiny over his financial practices, and former officials at the US Department of Justice and Federal Election Commission tell Business Insider that these investigations may have already begun quietly. If so, the Trump campaign will need more funds to defend itself.
