Republicans, in a show of solidarity with President Donald Trump, have avowed to raise a minimum of $60 million to fund legal challenges put forth by the incumbent President over the US presidential election results, reported news agency Reuters quoting sources.

With Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden edging closer to victory, the Trump campaign has filed several lawsuits across states over the results of the ongoing election.

“They want $60 million”, reported Reuters quoting a Republican donor, who was solicited by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee(RNC).

The campaign wants to raise as much as $100 million for the joint fundraising committee it maintains with the RNC, reported news agency Reuters citing two other sources.

All three sources however agree on a campaign to raise funds for legal fights, reported Reuters citing the three sources.

Since the end of voting on Tuesday, the Trump campaign has been crying foul over election fraud and mail-in vote dumps.They have sent out solicitations over email and text crying foul play and seeking donations. The sources also added that according to the text of the mail sent, half of the money raised would go to the paying of outstanding debts of the Trump campaign.

While the Trump campaign started off with a significant financial advantage, the Biden campaign soon surpassed the Trump train.

The campaign’s litigation strategy is chaotic, disorganised and a “disservice to the President”, reported Reuters quoting a Trump adviser.

The adviser added that the Trump team appeared to have been caught on the back foot by the election results and were not financially prepared to mount a legal challenge.
