A thread of things from the Trump town hall.

Guthrie begins pressing Trump on when its last pre-debate test was.

He won't say he was tested day of debate. “I probably did,” he says eventually.
He won't express regret for the indoor event at the ACB where folks were not wearing masks at White House.

"Everyone was tested," he said.
“People with masks are catching it all the time,” Trump says six months into the pandemic.

He continues to cede to the Democrats an overwhelmingly popular political position.

NEW: Money was supposed to have been one of Trump’s great advantages. Now some inside the campaign are instead forecasting a cash crunch.

A deep dive w/ @maggienyt on where exactly the $800 million went and how Trump’s financial supremacy evaporated.
nytimes.com/2020/09/07/us/…
The Trump campaign + RNC and their joint operations spent more than $350 million of the $1.1 billion raised since 2019 on fund-raising costs.
nytimes.com/2020/09/07/us/…
There have been some unusual expenditures like ~$110,000 to Yondr, a company that makes magnetic pouches used to store cellphones during fund-raisers so that donors could not secretly record Trump and leak his remarks. nytimes.com/2020/09/07/us/…

Joe Biden is going to more than double that.
