Trump campaign files election complaint to block Harris from Biden’s $90 million war chest
Trump’s FEC complaint accuses Harris of committing a ‘brazen money grab’ after Biden dropped out of the race

I'm pretty sure Legal Eagle covered this (at least partially). There are laws in place that prevent candidates from accessing funds that originally belonged to another candidate. This is a fraud prevention method to make sure that someone doesn't join a race then drop out purely to dump their funds into a candidate of their choice. A very wealthy person (billionaire?) shouldn't run for office with the intent of dropping out. There are very strict laws that regulate campaign finance. There are limits on how much money can be donated to a campaign, and money donated to Biden would be ineligible to be given to Harris.
That being said, the money will go towards Harris, but it may go in a roundabout way. The money may be put towards the DNC and their advertising budget which could go to support any DNC candidate. However, since she is the front runner, the money will be spent towards her. Seems like filling suit is just for show, imagine that.
Since the Republicans on the FEC refuse to vote for any investigation into Donny, the Democrats shouldn't feel any compunction about quashing this.
Nah it's always been the Biden Harris campaign. The money is donated to her as much as Joe.
The GOP has to argue that the ppl giving the money didn't know it would go to Harris. Pretty tough when her name is on the banner.
I partially agree with that. There is a fairly large difference between giving money to the current president vs. the VP. I do think you're right though that it's a valid argument that would probably hold up in court. Lets not forget our current supreme court though.
