Donald Trump makes election night about himself as Republicans underperform
- Donald Trump blasted out a "poll" Tuesday night asking supporters whether he should run for president.
- Answer "yes," and you're taken to a donation form.
As a "red wave" failed to materialize Tuesday night and many Republicans underperformed, former President Donald Trump turned his attention away from struggling 2022 Republican congressional and gubernatorial candidates and toward his favorite politician of all: himself.
"TRUMP RAPID RESPONSE," an email to supporters reads. "DO YOU WANT PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RUN IN 2024?"
Click a green "YES" button and you're taken to a page featuring Trump boarding Marine One.
A donation form inveigles prospective contributors to give at least $45 and as much as $2,500.
Trump has openly flirted with running for president again ever since leaving the White House in January 2021.
He's promised to make a "big announcement" on November 15.
All the while, Trump has aggressively fundraised for his post-presidential political committees, most notably Save America and Make America Great Again PAC.
Save America alone had almost $70 million cash on hand as of October 19, according to Federal Election Commission records.
