In Election's Home Stretch, Trump Campaign Scrambled For Cash
- 4 years ago
Former 2020 Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale made a $200m miscalculation that left the campaign nearly flat broke, a month before election day.
According to Business Insider, Parscale had counted on boatloads of last-minute cash donations to nearly double the dollar amount of previous monthly hauls.
Republicans close to the campaign said staffers have had to scramble to cancel the spending approved by Parscale to salvage the president's run for a second term.
But money has been tight since then, and Trump himself has been trying to quash stories that his campaign is on the rocks
Trump has also had to float the idea, again, that he would open up his own checkbook to keep it running.
