Trump team appeals for donations to fund election result legal battles

Both campaigns are fundraising as the result of the presidential election remains on a knife-edge

The Trump campaign blasted out a fundraising email to supporters in the early hours of Wednesday as the president gears up for legal battles over the election result.

The email, sent at 4.20am eastern time, read: “The Democrats will try to STEAL the Election! President Trump needs YOU to step up and DEFEND the results.”

There is zero evidence that the Democrats are trying to steal the election, despite the Trump team’s claims.

The solicitation offered to match contributions by “1000%”. Vice President Mike Pence also sent out his own fundraising email.  

Both the Trump and Biden campaigns are gearing up for potential court battles with teams of lawyers and constitutional law experts, as the presidential election result remains on a knife-edge in crucial swing states.

The Biden campaign is also fundraising. “We will win, but only if we protect the election," read a message on the Biden campaign website on Wednesday.

It continued: “Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States- but last night the President threatened to go to court to prevent the proper tabulation of votes. We are standing up the most comprehensive legal effort ever assembled. This work could stretch on for weeks and funding it is more important than ever. Chip in to the Biden Fight Fund.”
