President Donald Trump is gearing up to host an election night party at his own hotel in the United States' capital. The Trump Campaign has been emailing supporters for several days about an election night party to join alongside Team Trump. The email suggests this party will be held at the president's favorite hotel in Washington.
In other words, Trump might be planning to use his luxury hotel as a setting to express his reaction to the election results. Furthermore, the campaign has highlighted plans for the party in a fundraising boom from the president's son Donald Trump. Jr., according to AP News.
In a fundraising solicitation, Trump predicts that Nov. 3 will go down as the day his government won four more years. Noting that it would be absolutely epic, Trump says the presence of his supporters will be the only thing that can make it even better.
One lucky Trump supporter and a guest could end up winning a trip to Washington D.C. on election night. The Trump campaign will fly in the winners and arrange for their accommodation for the evening. However, the most important event is the party that will take place at Trump's DC hotel, a campaign email suggests.
If the party takes place, planners won't need to worry about managing a huge crowd trying to get their hands on the hotel's $100 martinis. This is unlike the White House, which is situated in a national park and can plan any event it wants. On the other hand, the Trump hotel is still under the city's health department's supervision and subject to its coronavirus rules that restrict gathering of more than 50 people, Washingtonian reported.
Last week, the Washington Examiner claimed that the president is bent on having an event at his hotel next Tuesday. Aside from that, the report indicated that there could be GOP events across Washington D.C. on election night, or they could be moved to Maryland or Virginia, which caps gatherings at 250 people.
The president's D.C. hotel has been booked for election night since Jan. During a press conference on Monday, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said he was not aware of the planned party until Monday morning and will get in touch with the hotel.
The Biden campaign, however, is tight-lipped about how it plans to spend election night. It is highly unlikely that either party will celebrate a victory on Election Day, considering that some states may need extra days to count their mail-in and absentee ballots.
