GOP Donors Ditching Trump In Effort to Save Senate

Daily Beast: “Increasingly convinced that President Trump’s election chances are grim, top Republican donors, lobbyists, and operatives are directing their attention to the Senate in hopes of keeping a majority in the chamber and, with it, a check on a future President Joe Biden.”

“Top GOP money men said that efforts to shift resources to Republicans running for the Senate have been happening for weeks, as Trump’s chances have not improved—indeed, worsened—and as the party’s candidates have been dramatically outraised.”

Said one GOP operative: “There is no discussion among donors about giving money to the president. The discussion among donors, bundlers and check writers is about the Senate seats.”
