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.

    Well that is a relief. Although that relies on the chairman not pulling the “bullshit” card for Trump and saying the rules are different for this. MAGA does not respect precedent or the law.

      They just don’t have that power. That’s not what a chairperson is. They can say whatever they want, it doesn’t make it real. You don’t have to rely on Republicans to not spontaneously manifest new authority. They aren’t magic.
