Overview
- Reuters reported Saturday that Trump has privately blamed senior aides and operatives for a faltering midterm plan while publicly defending chief of staff Susie Wiles.
- Much of the infighting focuses on James Blair, who runs the MAGA Inc. super PAC, with aides questioning his handling of funds and his overseas consulting work.
- Public records show MAGA Inc. has spent about $200 million so far and Trump has asked advisers whether more money should be approved before the election.
- The White House pushed back on anonymous sourcing with spokesman Davis Ingle calling the accounts baseless and Trump used Truth Social to defend Wiles.
- Polls still favor Democrats to win the House, raising the prospect of new investigations if Republicans lose and putting redistricting results in places like Texas under close scrutiny.
