Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has launched a new fundraising effort bearing the name of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

In a fundraising email sent Thursday, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook touted the “Stop Trump Fund” and urged the Democratic presidential front-runner’s supporters to become founding donors.
The fund’s purpose is to “make sure that Trump can never use the power of the presidency to deport millions of immigrants, punish women who get abortions, ban Muslims from coming to our country, or enact any of the other radical ideas he’s proposed in this campaign,” according to Mook.
Clinton’s latest effort to fundraise off Trump’s position as the de facto GOP nominee comes just 24 hours after her campaign debuted a stinging ad reminding voters of the most controversial statements the billionaire has made on the campaign trail.
“I’m still getting used to it: Donald Trump is really, truly, going to be the Republican nominee for president ,” Mook wrote in the email on Thursday.
Clinton currently carries a 7-point lead over Trump in the RealClearPolitics average of general election matchup polls, although the former secretary of state is still competing against rival Bernie Sanders for her party’s nomination.
