The shockwaves of Biden’s historic withdrawal from the race will be felt for a long time. Democrats are scrambling to secure a viable candidate. Some leaders are pushing hard for Kamala Harris, but it is yet unknown if she will be on the ticket. Meanwhile, this throws the race up into the air, even for Republicans.
Why do we say that? Because, while Trump is the GOP nominee, he has to run against someone. And while Democrats try to get their asses out of the fire, Trump has no idea who he’ll be up against in just a few weeks.
And now Trump is bringing up a good point. For months, his party had to spend millions of dollars campaigning against Biden. Only for Biden, at the eleventh hour, to drop out of the race. All that hard work to help their candidates has gone up in smoke. So, the former president is making one giant demand.
From Daily Wire:
Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the Republican Party deserved to be “reimbursed for fraud” after the Democratic Party and media surrogates forced them to spend millions campaigning against President Joe Biden despite knowing full well that he could not make it through another four years in office.“So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again,” Trump said…
While Biden and a number of powerful Democrats… have joined Biden in endorsing Harris, others have objected to the idea that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) could ignore the voters and “anoint” Harris without their input.
Trump’s Bold Demand
With Joe Biden’s unexpected exit from the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump has wasted no time in demanding that the GOP be reimbursed for what he calls a “fraudulent campaign.” As if that weren’t enough, Trump is also pushing for the next presidential debate to be aired on Fox News, his favorite network. Let’s dive into the latest from the Trump camp and what it means for the GOP and the 2024 race.
Trump has accused the Biden campaign of running a fraudulent operation, suggesting that donors and the GOP should be reimbursed for their contributions and efforts. It’s a bold accusation that plays into Trump’s long-standing narrative of electoral fraud and corruption within the Democratic Party.
GOP Reimbursement Demand
But what does it mean for the party to be “reimbursed”? The money campaigns have spent went to TV ads, interviews, campaign events, and large rallies. All that money went to venues, event organizers, TV networks, and other companies. It is extremely unlikely that any of them are going to refund cash for services that were rendered weeks or months ago.
But Trump makes a good point. And through this demand, he is advocating for hard-working Americans who donated their hard-earned money to GOP campaigns. If these venues are unwilling to refund payments, it seems Trump wants Biden or his allies to reimburse Republican donors.
That is even more unlikely.
Trump Stays in the Conversation
Let’s not forget that just a week ago, a gunman tried to assassinate Donald Trump. That horrific event sealed Biden’s fate, as few Democrats thought he could beat Trump after that. But the upcoming week’s news cycle will no doubt be focused on Kamala Harris and the Democrats’ attempt to find a replacement. While that gives the left an unfair advantage, it nonetheless remains the case. Trump will certainly not stay on the sidelines as the media tries to hype up whatever sorry Democrat tries to fill Biden’s corrective shoes.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump demanded Biden and others reimburse Republicans who spent money on a “fraud.”
- Trump claims his campaign was forced to spend cash to fight Biden, only for Joe to drop out this week.
- The Republican also demanded a change in network for the next debate; instead of ABC, he wants Fox News.
