The 2020 Donald Trump presidential campaign officially began on the President's Inauguration day in 2017 with a filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).[2][3][4] Trump kept his presidential campaign organization in place after he assumed the presidency. The 2020 campaign office is based in Trump Tower. As of January 2017, it included a staff of about ten people led by experienced Republican strategist Michael Glassner. They focus on data-building and fundraising for a 2020 re-election campaign.[5] By February 1, 2017, the campaign had already raised over $7 million.[6]
Early campaign event[edit]
The first rally paid for by the campaign was held in Melbourne, Florida, on February 18, 2017 and was attended by an estimated 9,000 supporters.[7] There, he defended his actions and criticized the media.[8] The event led to an international incident after Trump falsely claimed at the rally that Sweden had experienced a some kind of security incident the previous night and linked the fictional event to the country's asylum policies during the European refugee crisis.
