Wall Street's donations to Democrat nominee Joe Biden's campaign are a "little bit befuddling" considering President Donald Trump's tax cuts for all Americans, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday.
"It's the Democrat elites who Joe Biden is attracting and when you look at President Trump, he has the working class, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans are flocking to him," McEnany, speaking in her capacity as a campaign adviser, told Fox Business' Stuart Varney. "(Trump) is the party of the everyday American. That's Donald Trump's Republican party."
Wall Street's workers have given more than $74 million to support Biden, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, while giving Trump only around $18 million.
The donations are being made through direct contributions to the Biden campaign, to political action committees supporting the former vice president, and through fundraising events.
McEnany also defended Trump's comments on coronavirus, saying that he's "right that we are in a different place today than when the virus came in from China," as there is now an "85% reduction in fatalities."
"We are in a different chapter where we are reopening the economy, getting people back to work, resuming our everyday lives, and that's what the American people want," said McEnany.
Trump on Friday touted successes in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, insisting on Twitter that "more testing equals more cases" and that deaths are "way down."
