And in statements like Tweet, he is urging his supporters to give money directly to his Save America Political Action Committee – leaving a network of campaign committees and affiliate Super PACs, which usually intervene in the cold.
Trump said in a statement Monday evening that there is no more money for RNOS. “They do nothing but damage the Republican Party and our great voting base – they will never lead us to greatness. Send your donations to save America PAC on DonaldJetrump.com. We will make it all stronger than ever!”
In another statement Tuesday evening, Trump reiterated his insistence that donors give their money directly to their PACs – although he claimed he did not disagree with Republican campaign committees that would fight for many dollars from the same donors.
“I fully support the Republican Party and important GOP committees, but I do not support RIOs and idiots, and they have no right to use my likeness or image to raise funds,” Trump said in a statement. Trump said in a statement. “A lot of money is being raised and completely wasted by people who do not have the best interests of the GOP in mind.”
In an unusual joint statement, the chairpersons of the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senate Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee responded Tuesday night, saying they were “grateful” for Trump’s support, “both past and future.”
“Through his powerful agenda, we were able to break the record for fundraising and elect Republicans up and down the ballot. Together, we look forward to working with President Trump to regain our congressional majority and deliver results for the American people.” RNC chair Rona McDaniel, sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Thanks to Tom Emmer.
Trump’s move to raise donor money for his own cause shows that fundraising has become the latest front in the Republican Party’s future fight.
Appetite for their priorities – especially against the House and Senate Republicans, who are opposed to the U.S. C Cap voted to impeach or convict him for inciting the Jan. 6 riots in Pitol – presumably Trump is likely to disagree with the National Republican Senatorial Committee, a committee of the National Republican Congress. And other G.O.P. Establishment groups that typically seek expensive and divided intra-party battles and unified support behind candidates likely to win general elections.
“If you control the money, you control the party,” Republican donor Dan Eberhart told CNN on Tuesday. “Trump has effectively reversed this cycle to the RNC, NRCC and NRSC because they have to spend a lot of time worrying about a friendly fire from the mega crowd.”
“Maga’s support is going to go a long way in this cycle for everyone. When Trump puts his finger on the scales, it could prove decisive in many races,” Eberhart said, adding that they are considering running the Senate in Arizona. “When Trump backs a different candidate than the primary candidates from the NRSC and the NRCC, a lot of intrusions can happen. Serious people will burn.”
‘Some natural stress’
Over the weekend, a long-running controversy erupted over the use of equality in Trump’s name and appeals for Republican funding. The request was denied by the Republican National Committee in a letter obtained by CNN after Trump’s lawyers sent a message-off-letter to the party’s three fundraising land committees.
Chief Advocate of RNC, J. Justin Ramer told Trump’s lawyers that the RNC Has “every right to refer to public figures” in political discourse and will “continue to do so.”
Reimer also noted the “close relationship” between Trump and McDaniel. The letter added that Trump “confirmed to him over the weekend that he would allow the current use of the RNC to fund and fund and use other materials.”
Trump’s lawyers sent the same pause and obstruction request to the NRCC and the NRSC. An NRCC spokesperson declined to comment and an NRSC spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
This episode reveals how the former president is still holding on tight to his precious political brand.
“The natural tension that exists between the president and many of these committees is that the current situation meets where the president is unhappy about using his equality. This is something he was very defensive about during his tenure.” A Republican operative who requested anonymity to discuss interparty dynamics.
The clash also shows how Central Trump stays within the Republican Party’s own strategy, especially as it relates to increasing its small-dollar donor base. But the party’s confidence in Trump’s popularity with a Republican base contrasts with the need to increase the reach of dedicated supporters of the former president.
“The desire is to do it both ways, where you get former presidential voters, not their stuff,” said a GOP campaign strategist who asked not to be named to speak out about Republican incentives.
Some Republican donors, eager to see the GOP win next year’s midterm elections, reject Trump’s fit. Veteran Republican fundraiser Lisa Spice said the big donors who power the GOP’s political apparatus do not support contributing decisions to fund images of Trump or other politicians.
As a result, Trump’s confrontation with party leaders “will have little effect on big donors – if any,” he told CNN in an interview Tuesday.
Those contributors are “more concerned about bringing back a majority in the Senate and gaining a majority in the House,” the spy said, “and will the big donors follow suit? [Rep. Tom] Emer does and does in the NRCC [Sen.] Rick Scott does at NRSC. ”
“They’re less concerned about the former president’s agenda, or they clearly feel better,” he added.
Nevertheless, Trump and his significant campaign could interfere in the war-fighting primaries, especially in the swing districts and states, giving the majority of the House and Senate a chance to return to serious crisis.
“They’ve figured out how to neutralize them,” G.O.P. Said the campaign strategist.
Paul L. S. Ryan, vice president of litigation and policy in the Common Cause, said months ago it became clear that Trump’s interest was first.
After losing the election last November, Trump raised millions of dollars for his Political Action Committee because he encouraged lies about election fraud – rather than low funding in the U.S. pair of twin races in Georgia. Finally, the Republicans lost the runout in early January, with their majority in the chamber.
“The party needed money in Georgia in December,” Ray said. “He turned it around with his lies about the election.”
“It’s all about themselves. It’s not about making a party or supporting it.”
