Political Reactions
Trump's executive order targets ActBlue, alleging it facilitates illegal campaign donations, igniting condemnation from Democrats and ActBlue itself, labeling it an "oppressive use of power."
Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley supports the investigation, criticizing ActBlue as part of the Democrats' "Dark Money scam."
Defense and Counteractions
ActBlue vows to defend itself legally, emphasizing its role in supporting grassroots donations and accusing the Trump administration of attacking democracy.
Democratic leaders argue the move is an attempt to undermine democratic participation and support for candidates opposing Trump, while accusing him of empowering corrupt billionaires.
