Kushner, also a key adviser to Trump, is said to have approached him after the campaign team issued a statement on Saturday that the race is not yet over and that the media has designated a winner too soon. Joe Biden’s camp further reports to CNN that there has been no contact yet between the incumbent president and his successor.
The election defeat has reportedly been a bombshell for Trump’s campaign team. Anonymous employees tell ABC News that fatigue and disappointment are currently prevalent among the team that was supposed to make Trump’s reelection possible.
‘Horrible’
“A terrible feeling,” one of them tells the TV channel. Some employees had already assumed a defeat in recent days, for others it was only clear when Fox News declared Biden the winner on Saturday.
Trump’s team has filed several lawsuits over alleged voting fraud. But there is disagreement about that, according to ABC News. Some members of the legal team think they are “pointless”.
Combatant
Trump’s loyal allies, Rudy Giuliani and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, in particular, would still be willing to do anything to challenge the outcome. Trump’s sons Eric and Donald Trump junior are also still fighting on Twitter.
The ‘hotline’ that the campaign team has set up for voters to report abuses at the polls has also proven not to be a resounding success. The song would be inundated with fake phone calls from people who laugh at employees about the loss of Trump and then hang up.
