All the Ways Trumpworld Wants to Cash In On MAGA Anger Over the Election
Trump’s push to contest the 2020 election results may be a dubious legal gambit designed to muddy up Joe Biden’s win. But it’s also a gold rush for both him and his allies, as they seek to turn grassroots anger over the election’s outcome into a rare post-election opportunity to go back to the fundraising well, pad their coffers, and pay off election-year debts.
Pro-Trump student group Turning Point is raising money to fund a “team of lawyers” that it says is headed to Arizona to contest former Vice President Joe Biden’s win there. Newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a one-time devotee of the QAnon conspiracy theory, is hyping claims of a “stolen” election to try and build her list of voter contacts. A Republican state senator in Biden’s home state of Delaware is buying up web domain space to capitalize on the frenzy. A newly formed political group run by a Phoenix telemarketer is hitting America’s phone lines with robocalls that give the false impression of an association with the president’s political team and beg for money to fund a—likely nonexistent—“emergency recount fund.”
And according to the telemarketing and spam monitoring service RoboKiller, the Trump campaign has sent out an estimated 190 million text messages since Nov. 4.
Most of those texts “claim voter fraud and continue to request urgent or rushed donations to help fund recounts in major swing states such as Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania,” according to Giulia Porter, the vice president of marketing for Teltech, the firm that runs RoboKiller.
