Donald Trump prepared to spend 'whatever it takes' on re-election bid | KnottMatthew
US President Donald Trump says he is prepared to dip into his own fortune to fund his re-election campaign after reports emerged showing his team had blown the huge cash advantage it once held over Democratic rival Joe Biden.
Donald Trump has been telling Republican donors he is prepared to spend up to $100 million of his own money on his re-election campaign.Speaking to reporters on Wednesday Trump said he was willing to spend "whatever it takes" to ensure he wins a second term in the White House. Dan Eberhart, a prominent Republican donor, told the Associated Press that two Trump campaign officials had told him the President was considering a personal investment up to US$100 million in the campaign.
"This is about telling supporters, 'Don’t pay attention to the polls, don't pay attention to the media, we're going to win this thing,'" Eberhart said.When Biden emerged as the Democratic nominee in March, the Republicans had an estimated US$200 million cash advantage over Democrats but that has all but evaporated two months out from election day.
