Still, Jason Miller, senior advisor to the Trump campaign, told Fox Business that the campaign believed there was a path to keeping Trump as president.
“We are going to go and find all these legal means, all the methods of recounting,” he said. “We will continue to report and investigate all these cases of fraud or abuse, and make sure that… [that] the American public can have full confidence in these elections.
Miller said the campaign was gathering evidence of alleged fraud and he believed they had enough to change the outcome in Pennsylvania. He added that he expects recounts in Georgia and Arizona, as well as lawsuits in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The word ‘concede’ he said, ‘is not even in our vocabulary at the moment.’
To pay for the legal battles, the campaign tries to raise tens of millions of dollars and relies on major donors and small dollar fundraising efforts online and via SMS. They also send surrogates to defend their cause on television and in states where they pursue legal proceedings.
Despite the efforts, some campaign staff privately admit that there is no realistic way to reverse the results and are already looking for their next job. The campaign pays staff until November 30, according to another official. In trying to show a united front, they were told not to post election results on their social media accounts.
But some of their social media posts backfired. Tim Murtaugh, the director of communications for the Trump campaign, tweeted a photo of a version of The Washington Times newspaper from 2000 with the headline “PRESIDENT GORE” in an attempt to show how the media prematurely announced a winner. Except that the headline was photographed and the newspaper said it never made the front page. Murtaugh quietly deleted the tweet.
During the meeting, Stepien criticized the staff about the stunt, which he called “amateur”.
