Biden struggles to increase political funding, which is less than half of that
Warning: “If regulations are violated, we will stop doing business with the camp and the Republican Party.”
“If you pay more than 5%, regularly report to high-ranking officials” and encourage
The New York Times reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign sent a letter to various Republican candidates demanding that they pay more than 5% of their political fundraising if they use Trump’s name, video, or similar materials. It was reported on the 17th (local time).
The NYT sarcastically said that Trump’s campaign headquarters’ request was like imposing a tax on the use of the Trump brand. Trump has been trying hard to increase his political fundraising, which falls far short of President Joe Biden. As of the end of last month, Biden’s fundraising amount was $192 million (about 265.5 billion won), while Trump’s fundraising amount was $93 million (about 128.6 billion won), less than half.
Trump campaign spokesman Daniel Alvarez emphasized in a statement, “We must protect small donors from scammers using the president’s name and similar names.”
The Trump campaign also stated in the letter that it would prohibit the use of expressions such as “President Trump needs you” or “If you support President Trump, donate now” in fundraising activities.
“If we repeatedly violate the newly proposed regulations, we will stop doing business with the Trump campaign and the Republican Party,” the camp said.
The camp went on to call on all candidates and committees to contribute at least 5% of their funds. “Any amount in excess of 5% will be appreciated by the Republican National Committee and President Trump’s campaign and will be reported regularly to the highest level of leaders of both organizations,” the letter said.
Trump has long taken issue with people using themselves to raise money without his permission. A few weeks after he left office, established Republicans distanced themselves from Trump in the wake of the Capitol riot, sending him a cease-and-desist letter ordering Republicans to refrain from using his name or any likeness.
