St. Cloud, Minnesota, is seeking payment of nearly $209,000 from Donald Trump's campaign for services linked to a July rally. The event, which took place at St. Cloud State University, necessitated additional municipal resources beyond what is typically provided, according to local officials. Trump's campaign did not respond to the Associated Press' request for comment on the outstanding debt.
The city's expenses for the rally included $63,000 in additional law enforcement, $62,000 for modifying a construction project near the venue, and close to $2,000 for IT services. St. Cloud City Administrator Matt Staehling emphasized that the city routinely charges for such events and has billed the White House for campaign stops.
Trump's campaign paid $35,000 in August for the July use of St. Cloud State University's arena, confirmed Athletic Director Holly Schreiner. The rally, featuring Trump alongside running mate JD Vance, attracted an overflowing audience, some of whom watched the proceedings on a large screen outside the arena.
