Biden Team to Donors: Prepare for Trump’s Very Expensive Legal Tantrum
Both in public and in private, the Biden campaign is confident that when the dust finally settles in the aftermath of the still-contested presidential election, former Vice President Joe Biden will be named the nation’s next president.
But in conversations with top fundraisers, senior campaign leaders are girding themselves for months of nuisance lawsuits—and even efforts to interfere in selection of members of the Electoral College—from President Donald Trump as he seeks to thwart Biden’s election.
“In the upcoming hours and days, I’m sure we will hear more of allegations of fraud, we’ll hear more about the possibility of Republicans appointing electors independent of the popular election,” Dana Remus, the campaign’s general counsel and showrunner of Biden’s election protection program, told donors on a finance call on Wednesday evening. “These are not things to be scared of or worried about. This is what we prepared for.”
