Republican Party officials are set to raise at least $ 60 million to fund the lawsuits brought by US President Donald Trump, Reuters reported.
Trump’s campaign team has filed lawsuits to halt vote counting in several states where the difference between the votes received by the president and Democratic candidate Joe Biden is minimal.
“They want $ 60 million,” said a Republican donor on condition of anonymity. Two other sources said Republicans are planning to raise $ 100 million. The funds raised will go to fund lawsuits from Trump’s headquarters.
A headquarters aide, who asked not to be named, said Trump’s team appeared to be “taken by surprise by the election results” and not ready to take legal action.
In the states of Georgia and Nevada, the courts rejected the claims of Trump’s attorneys, and the Pennsylvania court sided with the head of the White House and complied with the request to suspend the count of several ballots presented on Wednesday. elections.
In the United States, the results of the general elections on November 3 are being summarized, in which the Americans elected president and vice president, 435 members of the House of Representatives, 35 Senate legislators and 13 governors of states and territories.
The vote count is in the final stage. Democratic candidate Joe Biden has 253 electoral votes. Donald Trump had the support of 214 voters. To win, you need to get 270 votes in the electoral college.
