Trump plans to continue raising political funds, aiming to recover influence after midterm election losses

Odaily Report: Trump has told advisers he plans to continue raising funds for his political operations to recover his political influence after the Republican Party's crushing midterm election defeat. Maintaining a political organization—whether the existing MAGA Inc. Super PAC or a newly formed entity—would give Trump a platform to influence the 2028 elections and beyond, including the next presidential race. It would also enable Trump to exert pressure on Republican lawmakers considering breaking with him.

During the 2026 Republican primaries, Trump's MAGA Inc. helped maintain party discipline by helping defeat Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie, an outspoken critic of Trump. But with Democrats controlling Congress and major donors beginning to shift their attention to the 2028 election, Trump's fundraising may become more difficult. (AXIOS)
