Trump Aides Plan for Final Sprint to Election Day

“President Trump’s political advisers have sharply debated in recent days how to best spend their limited money in the campaign’s last weeks as they seek to chart a path toward a repeat of their dramatic 2016 come-from-behind victory,” the Washington Post reports.

“The final push to calm internal divisions comes as the president is once again barnstorming the country, down in the polls and facing rising rates of coronavirus infection, continued signs of economic distress and an opponent who has so far proved far more resistant to the president’s attacks.”

“White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, who is leading Trump’s reelection effort, convened an all-hands meeting Thursday morning at the party headquarters in Washington to bring together top advisers for the Republican National Committee and the campaign. At issue was how and where the campaign, which has been operating with sometimes conflicting sets of voter-targeting data, should spend its remaining funds.”
