Former 2020 Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale made a $200m miscalculation that left the campaign nearly flat broke, a month before election day. According to Business Insider, Parscale had counted on boatloads of last-minute cash donations to nearly double the dollar amount of previous monthly hauls. Republicans close to the campaign said staffers have had to scramble to cancel the spending approved by Parscale to salvage the president's run for a second term. But money has been tight since then, and Trump himself has been trying to quash stories that his campaign is on the rocks Trump has also had to float the idea, again, that he would open up his own checkbook to keep it running.
President-elect Joe Biden arrived in Washington Tuesday to kick off his inaugural ceremonies. The normally celebratory time comes at a dark and solemn moment in American history. As the President-elect is preparing to take his oath of office, the US approaches 400,000 coronavirus deaths. Biden has said he was inspired to run for President after watching President Trump's dismissive handling of the deadly virus. Traditionally the outgoing President welcomes the incoming President and first lady at the North Portico. Instead, Trump has asked staff to arrange a sendoff off at Joint Base Andrews with a red carpet, a Color Guard, and a 21-gun-salute.
President Donald Trump posted a video on Twitter, addressing demonstrators and rioters who overtook the US Capitol. In the now deleted video, Pres. Trump praised the rioters and asked them to stand down. Trump also repeated false claims that there was widespread election fraud. "This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people." "We have to have peace." "So go home. We love you; you're very special."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo intends to move forward with marijuana legalization. Cuomo will push for it during the state's 2021 legislative session. Business Insider reports the governor announced his intentions in his daily press briefing on Wednesday. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought New York a $15 billion deficit. Legalizing marijuana is one way the state government intends to bring in additional tax revenue. "Too many people have been imprisoned, incarcerated, and punished. It's exaggerated the injustice of the justice system."
