“President-elect Joe Biden’s team is appealing to its high-dollar donors to help raise millions of dollars more for his presidential transition, amid concerns the Trump administration will continue to block public funding. … So far, the transition has raised more than $8 million, hitting their initial $7 to $10 million goal,” Politico reports.
“Now they’re upping it by ‘several millions of dollars in anticipation of GSA not relenting before the inauguration,’ said one person familiar with the transition efforts. … A half-dozen Democratic donors, bundlers and others familiar with the transition’s fundraising efforts, granted anonymity to speak candidly about private meetings, described a palpable shift in urgency in recent days, driven by what they described as the increasing likelihood that President Trump wouldn’t relinquish the money before he leaves office in January, as well as the multiple crises facing the incoming administration.”
