Washington PostSenior House Republicans are pleading with the deep-pocketed Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign to provide financial help as Democrats vastly outraise the GOP, but top campaign officials are so far declining to commit.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has been prodding the RNC to write a check to the National Republican Congressional Committee a request he has made multiple times. McCarthy specifically has asked Jared Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law and senior adviser, to make a financial commitment to the House GOP, according to several officials familiar with the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe private conversations.
But Kushner, who oversees such decisions and has a greater say than RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, has refused thus far, the officials say. While the Trump campaign and the RNC have brought in record amounts of money, some Trump officials see donating to the House as a wasteful investment as the GOPs chances of reclaiming the majority sharply deteriorate. Their decline in fortunes can largely be attributed to Trumps sagging support over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the sliding economy.

Did they really think the Trumps would be team players and help them get reelected? What suckers.
