Trump Sat On $94 Million As His Chosen Candidates Lost The Senate For Republicans

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump hoarded $94 million this election in his various political committees as his anointed candidates lost the Senate for Republicans in tight races where that money might have made the difference between winning and losing. In the end, Trump’s much-publicized burst of spending late in the campaign totaled just $15 million through his new Make America Great Again Inc. super PAC in five states: $3.7 million in Arizona, $3.4 million in Georgia, $2 million in Nevada, $2.4 million in Ohio and $3.5 million in Pennsylvania. In addition to the $15 million he spent in the Senate races, Trump also spent $6.9 million on a “revenge” tour against Republicans who crossed him, with the bulk of that against Kemp in Georgia. This spring, Trump gave $1 million to American Leadership Action, which at the time was attacking Republican rivals to Oz, Trump’s endorsed candidate in the Pennsylvania Senate GOP primary, and another million to Our American Century, which also was attacking opponents of Oz as well as trying to defeat Rep. Nancy Mace, who criticized Trump’s incitement of the U.S. Capitol riot but in the end did not vote to impeach him.
