Former President Donald Trump speaks loudly about the Republican candidates he's backing for the midterm elections. His money isn't always where his mouth is, however, at least not to the same level as Senate Minority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell.
With Election Day just four days away, Republicans are fighting to flip the Senate in their favor. Many Trump-endorsed candidates are neck-and-neck in tight races against their Democratic opponents. Every dollar counts this close to the election and despite last minute fundraising pushes on both sides, many races remain tight. In the meantime, Trump is directing his attention toward McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, blaming him for allowing Democrats to "blow up the debt ceiling." The former president also said that Republicans should impeach McConnell rather than choosing to funnel more money into races supported heavily by his political action committees (PAC).
"It's crazy what's happening with this debt ceiling," Trump said Thursday during an interview on John Fredericks' Real America's Voice. "Mitch McConnell keeps allowing it to happen. I mean they ought to impeach Mitch McConnell if he allows that. Frankly, Mitch McConnell—they have something on him."
Instead of criticizing or impeaching McConnell, an opinion piece by conservative and former White House speechwriter Marc Thiessen published Thursday in The Washington Post, said Republicans should thank the Senate minority leader if the GOP wins the Senate come Tuesday.
The newspaper reported that Trump has raised a whopping $161 million for campaigns this year, but his Make America Great Again (MAGA) super PAC has spent a measly $14.8 million in Senate races as opposed to McConnell's super PACs, which have funneled $238 million into Senate races to "bail out" Trump-backed candidates.
Thiessen used Republican J.D. Vance's campaign as an example.

Mitch can see the writing on the wall and he wants the new Senators to be beholding to him so he can hold on to his seat of power.
Well, he had to be cajoled into a bunch of those. Probably believed the beltway nonsense that they were not good candidates.
Does he get royalty money for Turtle Wax?
If he gets dumped and drops out of sight suddenly let’s avoid ordering turtle soup-——just in case.
Kari Lake was an Obama and John Kerry supporting democrat, who said Obama was the best president of her lifetime.
And Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat.
DJT invested himself, his time and valuable endorsement by holding rallies in crucial states, standing beside his candidates. that imprimatur is worh more than $$$.
Coke head saved JDVance?
Total BS.
Once they kiss his ring and their continued support of him as speaker
I guess you can’t put a money figure on the number of rallies that Trump’s held for these candidates including 4 over the 6 days ending on Election Day (which includes the 2nd or 3rd for J.D. Vance).
Yep, it’s why I rarely visit. The negative posts about Trump and the election are depressing.
Geezer Republic has a bad case of TDS. Just like in ‘16 most here were Cruzer Losers. It took a while for Trump to catch on.
“”And Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat.””
In the 1940s, he started working for republicans after that.
The 1940s was when even Texas was democrat, pre-abortion, pre-gay, pre-everything, pre-1972 election and George McGovern, pre-1960s, pre-Clinton and Obama.
Using Reagan as having been a democrat is a ridiculous argument for modern democrats.
“Geezer Republic” LOL! Just spit a little coffee on my iPad.
There is a difference in Mitch spending other people’s money and Trump spending money. I’ll bet Mitch doesn’t spend over $10k of “his own money”.
MITCH does NOT spend a penny of his own $$$$$.
Point #2 Turtle boy mitch is in charge of all formal republican re-election spending. President Trump is funding campaigns via his own PAC independent of party funds.
Using Reagan as having been a democrat is a ridiculous argument for modern democrats.Not any more ridiculous than pretending to quote what someone said out of context with out "" quotes or reference.
If she said it, was "her lifetime" at that time, before Trump? Or after?
The truth is:
Trump accomplished more in one 4yr term than any other President in her lifetime...Including and especially Obama.
That didn’t make any sense to me, it seemed to be some excuse for doing something you shouldn’t be doing and then something about Trump.
Using Reagan or anyone else as having been a 1940s democrat is a ridiculous argument for people having been modern democrats.
That claim as ridiculous as claiming Reagan was former Democrat that can’t be trusted.
