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

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.

“We didn’t lose because of Trump’s rhetoric. We lost because Trump is cheap,” said one Trump adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “He left them all hanging dry…. It gave a free shot for all the right-wing pundits to turn on him.”

Aides to the former president, who attempted a coup after losing his own reelection bid in 2020 but is expected to announce another White House campaign on Tuesday, did not respond to HuffPost queries.
Trump likely ended the midterm elections with $94,075,872 unspent, according to a HuffPost analysis of the latest available Federal Election Commission filings, despite claiming in thousands of fundraising emails and texts from his Save America “leadership PAC” that he was working to win back control of the House and Senate for Republicans.

2. That is some of the beauty of him being around

That is 94 million that wasn't donated to other candidates. He is a small donor money raising machine and he shares none of it with anyone lol

3. Trump only cares about himself. Why are they just figuring this out now?

It has been obvious to everyone else for decades.

5. Money isn't everything in a campaign. They lost because they put up terrible candidates and

Americans clearly stated they are fed up!

A total of 700+ million was spent on these lack luster idiots, and it got them nothing. Another 94 million wouldn’t have fixed it
