President Donald Trump is in control of a large sum of cash as the November midterm elections approach, but some Republicans are concerned hell be reluctant to spend it, according to a new report.
Trumps allies have estimated that he controls a political war chest of about $1.4 billion, Puck News reports. This apparent total doesnt include the millions Trump has raised for other projects, including the White House ballroom and his presidential library, according to the outlet. This comes after Trump bragged in August that he had raised in excess of $1.5 billion since the 2024 election.
Now, some Republicans are worried Trump wont be willing to spend enough on key midterm races to make a difference, according to Puck News. An unnamed Republican Senator told the outlet: Hell never spend all that money, because history tells us that. Given that Trump isnt running for reelection, some are questioning where the cash might go. I think a lot of people are asking, What is it all for? Saurav Ghosh, the federal campaign finance reform director at the Campaign Legal Center, told the Associated Press.
The funds could help Trump influence the midterms, and even the 2028 presidential race, the AP reports. Sources close to the president have insisted hes eager to help Republicans, though he has appeared reluctant to spend on other peoples races in the past, according to the outlet. Trumps team appears to be making a plan for which races he may focus on.
