The Trump reelection campaign confirmed on Tuesday that it set up an Election Day “war room” in the Executive Office next to the White House.

“The war room needed to be in close proximity to the president and there is no expense whatsoever to American taxpayers for the use of a room in the EEOB, where events like prayer services and receptions for outside groups frequently occur,” campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told news outlets.
