‘The Federal Election Campaign Act and related statutes ban this sort of action to guarantee free and fair elections.’ Both the briber and the bribee might be prosecuted.
However, former Federal Election Commission chief Hans von Spakovsky labeled the charges ‘absurd.’

Spakovsky found the ‘considerate’ answer to ‘her money concerns’ did not violate election or campaign finance regulations. He said, ‘The’swirls’ on social media over this are absurd.
Trump visited a mother-of-three grocery shopping with her three boys between a farmer roundtable and a rally in surrounding Pittsburgh communities.
There is controversy about whether Trump asked for her vote or even mentioned it. Instead, others believe the former president repeated his supermarket price-lowering pledge.
