Donald Trump: Raised $150M for election challenges; most goes to his PAC

Trump has raised more than $150 million with his campaign to contest Biden's victory in court. Following the November 3 defeat, the Trump campaign asked supporters for contributions to fund a legal offensive in six states on the grounds, without evidence, that there was electoral fraud. However, according to the Post and Times sources, up to 75% of that proceeds will go to finance Trump's new political action committee, "Save America," with which he will finance his next political movements.

Mitt Romney: 47% don't pay taxes; but my campaign is about the 100%

Q: You talk about the 47% of Americans who don't pay taxes and depend on the government; and you also talk about your concern that Hispanics don't vote for your party.

A: This is a campaign about the 100%. Politics has driven us apart in some respect. So my campaign is about the 100% of America. And I'm concerned about them. I'm concerned about the fact that over the past four years life has become harder for Americans. More people have fallen into poverty. More people we just learned have had to go onto food stamps. When the President took office 32 million people were on food stamps. Today 47 million people are on food stamps. Now I know that I'm not going to get 100% of the vote. And my campaign will focus on those people we think we can bring in to support me. But this is a campaign about helping people who need help. I have a record. I've demonstrated my capacity to help the 100%.

Donald Trump: We didn't have guns on Jan. 6; it was a day of love

[On Jan. 6th]: Very importantly, you had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington. They didn't come because of me. They came because of the election. They thought the election was a rigged election and that's why they came. Some of those people went down to the Capitol, I said, peacefully and patriotically, nothing done wrong at all. Nothing done wrong. And action was taken, strong action. Ashli Babbitt was killed. Nobody was killed. There were no guns down there. We didn't have guns. The others had guns, but we didn't have guns. And when I say "we" these are people that walk down, this was a tiny percentage of the overall, which nobody sees and nobody shows. But that was a day of love from the standpoint of the millions, it's like hundreds of thousands. It could have been the largest group I've ever spoken before. They asked me to speak. I went and I spoke and I used the term peacefully and patriotically. Source: Univision Town Hall: Trump interview Oct 17, 2024
