Anti-Trump GOP Groups End Spending On Primary

Axois reports:

A growing number of anti-Trump Republicans are giving up — and giving into the belief that nothing will stop him from winning the GOP’s presidential nomination.

Despite former President Trump’s poor record in the last three elections, his increasingly violent rhetoric and four felony indictments, many anti-Trump Republicans quietly are stepping back from pushing for an alternative. They’ve concluded that the GOP’s base can’t quit Trump.

Win It Back, a political action committee (PAC) affiliated with the conservative group Club for Growth, says it burned through $6 million creating 40 anti-Trump messages — none of them effective, the New York Times reported.

Reuters reports:



After spending roughly $1 million on anti-Trump ads in Iowa, the Republican Accountability PAC concluded in August their money wasn’t making a difference.

“We have stopped spending money in the primary. We decided we needed to hold our powder for the general election,” said PAC president and Republican strategist Sarah Longwell.

That decision is another sign Trump’s candidacy is being seen as inescapable by some of his opponents in the party. Trump remains loved by a large swath of the Republican voting base, despite his falsehoods about his 2020 election loss and the federal and state criminal cases he faces.
