wikipedia - 04 Nov 2020Trump's predecessors merged their campaign committees into their party's committee following their election victories. Following his 2016 election victory, Trump eschewed this presidential tradition and retained a separate campaign committee which continued raising funds. In December 2016, the campaign raised $11 million.[23] These moves indicated that Trump was already eyeing a 2020 run.[24]
