3 Billionaires Poured $220 Million Into Efforts to Elect Trump: Oct. 15 Campaign News

[RandySF]

Three billionaires — Elon Musk, Miriam Adelson and Dick Uihlein — put a combined $220 million into groups supporting former President Donald J. Trump in July, August and September, according to new filings with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday night. Vice President Kamala Harris, though, has plenty of financial firepower behind her, too: Her main big-money committee raised some $633 million during the same period, four times what Mr. Trump’s similar group raised.

Earlier tonight, Mr. Trump fielded questions from an audience of all women in Georgia, where he renewed his assertion that Democrats are “the enemy from within,” remarks that Vice President Kamala Harris has condemned. He spoke at an event led by the Fox News host Harris Faulkner to be broadcast on Wednesday morning. Before that, he sat for an often combative interview with John Micklethwait, the editor in chief of Bloomberg, in which he repeatedly dodged a question about whether he had spoken to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia since the end of his presidency, but added that it would be a “smart thing” if he had.
