Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday, arguing that Vice President Kamala Harris could not legally use funds raised as part of President Joe Biden's re-election campaign In a close race with Republican challenger Donald Trump, on Sunday he endorsed Harris, who is seeking re-election. The campaign said Harris quickly seized control of Biden's campaign account and sealed his nomination Monday night with the promise of a majority of delegates who will decide the nominee at next month's convention. The dispute over the account, which held about $95 million at the end of June, is part of a multi-pronged effort by Republicans to prevent Harris from becoming the top Democrat. According to a filing released by campaign attorney David Warrington, Trump's campaign claimed that Harris was involved in "blatant money printing." In a filing shared with Reuters, Warrington said Harris committed what he called "the largest campaign finance violation in American history."
Saurav Ghosh, an attorney with the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan watchdog group, said Harris has already joined the Biden campaign for president as the vice presidential nominee, which is why he maintains the funding should be secure. In any case, it is unlikely that election officials will resolve this issue before the November 14 presidential election. The FEC said it cannot comment on pending enforcement matters. The Harris campaign said it had raised $100 million since Sunday, when Biden dropped out of the campaign and endorsed Harris, surpassing the rest of Biden's total in just a few days. His campaign ignored the FEC complaint. Republicans may envy Democrats' attempt to defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, but they have been trying to suppress votes and steal elections for years. “Talk to the voters and win this election,” Harris said. said campaign spokesman Charles Kretchmer Lutvak.
