Republicans fear a $350 million war chest is going to waste —thanks to Trump - Alternet.org

Theory Briefing

  • MAGA Inc. has spent just $17,900.88 on a single race since March, leaving a $350 million fund largely idle ahead of the 2026 midterms.
  • Republican insiders fear the war chest is being preserved for Trump's own priorities rather than deployed to defend congressional seats.
  • The tension exposes a classic conflict between a central power controlling resources and the party members who need them on the ground.
