The Harris campaign is playing defense by recruiting thousands of lawyers to advise and support their election strategies around Election Day.
Democrats are bracing for former President Donald Trump’s campaign and allies to initiate legal battles over the 2024 election results if he loses, actions Republicans took following the 2020 election.
More than 400 lawyers have been hired to draft legal memos in preparation for possible litigation, according to the Wall Street Journal, with thousands of pages already filed. About 10,000 lawyers are also at the ready in crucial swing states with more specific knowledge of each state’s rules.
The Democratic National Committee spent nearly $22 million on lawyers this election cycle as of the summer, according to an analysis conducted by the outlet of recent federal campaign finance records.
