New fundraising tactics raise campaign finance concerns

The first Republican presidential debate is just two weeks away and at least eight candidates have met the RNC criteria to participate. Some used creative tactics to reach that threshold. One campaign offered $20 gift cards to people who donated at least a dollar, another gave away soccer tickets. Amna Nawaz discussed the methods with Adav Noti of the non-partisan Campaign Legal Center.
