The Republican fundraising machine has faced over 800 complaints to the Federal Trade Commission since 2022 for using aggressive and predatory tactics to solicit donations from elderly voters. This number is nearly seven times higher than complaints against Democrats.
Elderly donors, often in their 80s and 90s, reported giving more than they could afford, at times relying on credit cards and mortgages to make contributions, often compromising their financial security.
Many elderly donors, including widows and nursing home residents, became the targets of aggressive fundraising tactics that overwhelmed their communication channels, causing them to overlook important messages from family.
The tactics employed by Republican candidates seem to have evolved into a 'vast predatory network,' exploiting the vulnerabilities of senior citizens to maximize fundraising efforts.
