Biden Fundraising Again – For Transition Fund
As of this writing, President Trump has not conceded the 2020 election and continues to pursue legal challenges in battleground states, where the campaign alleges discrepancies have been found.
The mainstream media has largely dismissed Trump’s concerns about voter fraud and has ‘called’ the presidential election for Biden.
With the election still technically in dispute, Team Biden is now using crowdfunding to help fund his transition.
“Here’s the deal: Because President Trump refuses to concede and is delaying the transition, we have to fund it ourselves and need your help,” said Biden in a tweet yesterday.
