Trump Calls on ‘Clowns’ Challenging Him To Drop Out and Spend Money on Ballot Harvesting Efforts
Mr. Trump’s political action committee will report Monday that it spent more than $40 million on legal fees during the first half of 2023, more than the campaign raised during the second quarter of the year.
At a moment of growing legal peril, President Trump ramped up his calls for his GOP rivals to drop out of the 2024 presidential race as he threatened to primary Republican members of Congress who fail to focus on investigating President Biden and urged them to halt Ukrainian military aid until the White House cooperates with their investigations into Mr. Biden and his family.
“Every dollar spent attacking me by Republicans is a dollar given straight to the Biden campaign,” Mr. Trump said at a rally at Erie, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night. The GOP frontrunner said it was time for Governor DeSantis and others he dismissed as “clowns” to clear the field, accusing them of “wasting hundreds of millions of dollars that Republicans should be using to build a massive vote-gathering operation” to take on Mr. Biden in November.
