Trump campaign files election complaint to block Harris from Biden’s $90 million war chest
Trump campaign tries to block Harris from Biden’s $90 million war chest
Two days and they already reek of desperation and fear.
Remember when Trump got the scratch on his ear and there was that photo of him with his fist raised and the flag in the background?
So many people were sure that would ensure a Trump win.
Now it’s just old news.
What if Biden spends the war chest on Harris's behalf?
It’s stupid regardless. You can pass on funds iirc
It would be stupid even if you can't pass the funds. A PAC can still spend that money supporting her, and it resets the individual donation limits.
The big ticket donors would all get to donate again.
Stupider than that. She's a listed candidate on the original filing.
I worry thought about both how long the Supreme Court can delay and how stupid Trump judges can be.
Are these public funds yet?
Then all those donors get to donate again because the campaign finance limits no longer apply, and Biden can spend that money on Harris's behalf.
The legal approach just isn't going to work out in there favor. If the money doesn't go to Harris, all of a sudden she gets a do-over with all donors and it can go to a PAC which will spend it on her behalf.
Is this what the MAGAs call lawfare?
Trump knows what he's talking about and might actually have a point this time. He's been pulling financial crimes longer than Harris has been alive.
Let the liar speak, surely he'll tell the truth this time!
That money was donated to the Democrats, no?
More specifically to the Biden Harris campaign which she is and has always been a part of, yes?
💯
I smell orange desperation
I do prefer a citrus desperation as opposed to other fragrances.
I wear that cologne! How you doin'?
It's ok, she can just use that money to pay of a pornstar. We've all seen that's totally acceptable as far as the Repubes are concerned.
It’s not that he paid her It’s that he paid her to stay quiet so the election wouldn’t be affected by the news, manipulating results.
Someone’s getting a little hot under the toupee
They are flailing! They have no idea what to do anymore other than shout that it’s not fair.
Eat a dick, Donnie.
I love watching Trump cry. 😂 We'll see him throw a public tantrum before this is done. 🍿
Like most other Trump suits, this one is also for show
We'll see him throw a public tantrum before this is done.
You mean like any other Tuesday?
Hey look, the roaches are skittering.
I'm pretty sure Legal Eagle covered this (at least partially). There are laws in place that prevent candidates from accessing funds that originally belonged to another candidate. This is a fraud prevention method to make sure that someone doesn't join a race then drop out purely to dump their funds into a candidate of their choice. A very wealthy person (billionaire?) shouldn't run for office with the intent of dropping out. There are very strict laws that regulate campaign finance. There are limits on how much money can be donated to a campaign, and money donated to Biden would be ineligible to be given to Harris.
That being said, the money will go towards Harris, but it may go in a roundabout way. The money may be put towards the DNC and their advertising budget which could go to support any DNC candidate. However, since she is the front runner, the money will be spent towards her. Seems like filling suit is just for show, imagine that.
Since the Republicans on the FEC refuse to vote for any investigation into Donny, the Democrats shouldn't feel any compunction about quashing this.
Nah it's always been the Biden Harris campaign. The money is donated to her as much as Joe.
The GOP has to argue that the ppl giving the money didn't know it would go to Harris. Pretty tough when her name is on the banner.
I partially agree with that. There is a fairly large difference between giving money to the current president vs. the VP. I do think you're right though that it's a valid argument that would probably hold up in court. Lets not forget our current supreme court though.
I’m pretty sure Biden has immunity and can do whatever the hell he wants. At least that’s what the Supreme Court told me.
Wrong decision. Since SCOTUS overturned Chevron, the FEC actually can’t make up any rules so elections no longer have rules
Edit: /s
Plus wrong decision still. If it's a Wednesday in a J month, and if you sing your wish to the tune of "Don't Tell Me How To Live" by Kid Rock, your wish will come true as long as it oppresses a minority.
Try to keep up.
If not, just make a fake stock to launder money like Trump and Nunes did.
