“A political group tied to President Trump is quietly spending millions to help Republicans in Utah in the 2028 election cycle, offering a window into how Mr. Trump could keep wielding influence in his party even after he is no longer president,” the New York Times reports.
“The effort is focused on recapturing a House seat that Republicans anticipate will flip to Democrats next year. All of Mr. Trump’s other moves this year on redistricting are meant to help Republicans maintain control of the House after the 2026 midterm elections, which would help him stave off Democratic investigations and continue to advance his agenda.”
“The Utah effort, by contrast, would redound to Republicans’ benefit only in 2028, when Mr. Trump will be constitutionally ineligible to run for re-election.”
