President Donald Trump said Friday he will be “sending a team” to oversee recounts in Florida.
“Ron DeSantis got nearly 40,000 more votes than socialist Andrew Gillum in the Florida governor’s race. Rick Scott over 15,000 more votes than Bill Nelson in the Senate race. But we’re likely being forced into a mandated recount,” Trump said in email to potential donors.
He was asking donors to contribute online to the Florida Grassroots Recount Fund, stating that $247,867 would need to be raised to fund the team’s trip to Florida.
“We’re sending a team of reliable supporters to oversee the entire recount process to ensure it’s done fairly,” Trump said in the email.
