The crew leading the charge for former President Donald Trump’s 2024 return to the White House is taking money matters seriously. The team is making big cuts to the budget, with a focus on putting all the cash into connecting with voters. With memories of messy money handling in the 2020 campaign and sky-high legal costs, senior advisers are calling for a major shift.
Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita are at the helm, aiming to tighten the purse strings and keep the focus on getting folks to back Trump. They say the previous spending plan missed the mark, and they’re ready to put every cent where it counts.
According to LaCivita, smart spending is crucial for any group that wants to score top deals. He figures that if the priority isn’t connecting with voters and boosting the candidate, the campaign isn’t headed in the right direction.
The campaign headquarters tells the same penny-pinching story, according to a senior adviser. They paint a picture of functional, mismatched furniture as the hallmark of Trump’s campaign offices. No frills or fancy woodwork here, just the basics.
The team is determined not to repeat the financial flop of 2020, says one adviser. They see guarding the campaign’s cash flow as the ultimate rule in politics.
While money issues are a real concern, things could be looking up soon. The Trump team is poised to tap into the Republican National Committee’s bucks if Trump secures the GOP nomination. Plus, his allies are ready to rally around him, hoping to rev up the fundraising engine with Trump’s name front and center.
