Trump Raises More Than $90 Million For Post-Election Legal Fights

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The anticipated onslaught of litigation following the November election comes after Trump set a precedent of widespread post-election lawsuits in 2020.
48% : Harris has vastly outraised Trump ahead of the election, taking in $997.2 million through Oct. 16 with $118 million in cash on hand.
41% : That being said, her fundraising prowess suggests she'll likely be able to quickly raise money from her supporters for any legal challenges against Trump as and after the votes are counted.
37% : The RNC's cash reserves for post-election efforts will help bolster Trump as he's struggled more with fundraising, with his campaign taking in only $338 million through Oct. 16 with $36.2 million in cash on hand.
35% : (Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, though some of his associates have taken plea deals.)
22% : Trump also raised millions from his supporters after the 2020 election to fund his efforts to overturn the vote count, and is likely to do so again should he lose to Harris.
22% : Trump has already started questioning the election results and making baseless fraud allegations in the runup to Election Day, suggesting he may challenge the results in court if Harris wins as he did in 2020.
19% : Trump was able to sow distrust in the results as the vote count stretched on for days given the narrow difference in votes between him and Biden -- which may be the case again in this presidential election, as polls show Harris and Trump running neck-and-neck in battleground states.
15% : The litigation strategy was part of a broader attempt by Trump and his allies to overturn the election results, which was unsuccessful and led to Trump and many of his associates getting indicted in state and federal court.
