A White House official revealed that Donald Trump is withholding Super PAC funds from Republican candidates, intending to reserve the money for his own legal battles. The Trump campaign has spent only $10 million of a stated billion dollars in MAGA Inc. coffers, leading to questions about the allocation of funds, especially with midterm elections approaching and Republicans needing financial support.

WHY IT MATTERS

This decision to hoard campaign funds for personal legal expenses raises concerns about the financial viability of Republican candidates in the upcoming midterms and suggests Trump may be prioritizing his own legal defense over the party's electoral success.
