Warren: Trump’s July 4th Event ‘A Campaign Event’ That Taxpayers Shouldn’t Pay For

Elizabeth Warren on #FourthofJuly celebration: "Donald Trump is handing out tickets to his big donors. That's a campaign event.

While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, 2020 presidential candidate Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) stated that President Trump’s planned July 4th event is “a campaign event,” and as such, should be paid for by campaign contributions, not taxpayers.

Warren said, “Donald Trump is handing out tickets to his big donors. That’s a campaign event, and if he’s going to do a campaign event, then it should be paid for by his campaign contributions. It should not be paid for by the American taxpayer.”
