About Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign in brief
The 2020 Donald Trump presidential campaign was an unsuccessful re-election campaign for the 2020 United States presidential election by President of the United States Donald Trump. Trump began his reelection campaign unusually early for an incumbent president. He officially filed his campaign with the Federal Election Commission on the day of his inauguration. Since February 2017, Trump has held several rallies and fundraisers for this campaign. The campaign has raised funds and ran two nationwide advertising campaigns. On November 7, 2018, Trump confirmed that Mike Pence would be his vice presidential running mate in 2020. Trump’s reelection bid was ultimately unsuccessful; most major news outlets officially projected that the Democratic ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had defeated him and Pence. As a result, the 2020 campaign agenda for a second term was primarily to build on the first term’s agenda to build some momentum for a third term in office. The first time in U.S. history that there have been four consecutive presidents who were elected to two terms. If Trump were reelected, it would have been the first time that there has been a fourth consecutive president who ran for two terms in a row. The concept of a permanent campaign also describes the focus which recent presidents have given to electoral concerns during their tenures in office, with the distinction between the time they have spent governing and campaigning having become blurred. The disproportionately large amounts of time presidents have spent visiting key electoral states has been pointed to as evidence of ulterior electoral motives influencing presidential governance. For instance, George W. Bush embarked on domestic trips during his first three years in office that were 114 more than his predecessor Bill Clinton in his first year.
In his second year, 39% of his domestic travel was to these states, and his third year was to the 16 swing states that were considered swing states. In the first year of his first term, Bush made 416 domestic trips to swing states after having decided the closest margins in the 2000 election had been decided. This was the highest number of domestic trips made by any president in the history of American politics. In December 2016, the campaign raised USD 11 million. These moves indicated that Trump was already eyeing a 2020 run. The earliest campaign disbursement that his committees reported was spent towards the 2020 presidential primaries was for the purchase of a Delta Air Lines ticket on this date. By filing for his campaign as early as he did, Trump gave himself a head start on fundraising. This theoretically helped discourage primary challengers. Although Trump’s early campaign filing is extraordinarily unusual, aspects of a \”permanent campaign\” are not entirely unprecedented in American politics, such a phenomenon had a presence in the White House at least asEarly as the presidency of Bill Clinton. Under the advice of Sidney Blumenthal, Clinton’s staff continued to engage in campaign methodology once in office using polling for assistance in making decisions. The rise in presidential fundraising as a symptom of the permanent campaign is emblematic of the blurred lines between campaigning and governance in White House. In May 2018, a data analysis firm named Cambridge Analytica, launched in May 2018 to provide ad-targeting services and services for Trump’s 2020 campaign.
