Politico: “Three of the big power centers that drove the GOP’s last successful midterm campaign are no longer the same forces in party politics now, with Republicans out of the White House and in the minority in both chambers of Congress. The Koch network of megadonors and big-spending outside groups has stepped back its partisan political campaigning, while the U.S. Chamber of Commerce not only shrunk its spending but made a bipartisan shift.”
“Others, like the National Rifle Association, [have] been consumed by internal strife. The advocacy group announced last week it would be filing for bankruptcy. In their place, power and cash consolidated around Trump and the GOP’s Senate and House leadership in recent years.”
