The Trump campaign on Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission arguing money raised for President Joe Biden’s reelection bid cannot be transferred to Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

The complaint was filed by the Trump campaign’s general counsel David Warrington and argues transferring the funds would amount to “little more than a thinly veiled $91.5 million excessive contribution from one presidential candidate to another.”

“Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash — a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended,” the complaint, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, states.

    Has 0 to do with CU as its not more donations but the transfer of already made donations to the biden campaign to Harris and since Harris was already Biden’s running mate well it’s technically the same campaign so… Trump is just trying the shotgun method, put a lawsuit against anything you don’t like…

      It’s held by a business entity, they’re going to try. I never said they would succeed, the shear amount of abjectly stupid legal arguments republicans have made in the last 6 years is astounding.
