Trump's MAGA Inc. is sitting on $350M. Republicans want to see it.

(Politico) President Donald Trump is trying to boost Republicans' midterm prospects by branding Democrats as communists, implementing a fragile truce with Iran, and touting plummeting gasoline prices.

But some Republicans wish he would just spend the over $350 million sitting in his war chest, the MAGA Inc. super PAC.

"We didn't leave our most powerful missiles on the ships when we were trying to crush Iran. Money is the political equivalent in politics. The electorate's mindset on the economy is normally locked in stone by Labor Day after a summer of backyard conversations and paying for summer vacation gas," said a GOP lobbyist and donor, who like others in this report was granted anonymity to speak freely. "Now is the time to sell the message – America 250, the world loves America, the Democrats are crazy left again, and we sealed the border."

MAGA Inc., hasn't spent directly on a race since March, when it spent $17,900.88 to support Rep. Clay Fuller's campaign for his House seat in Georgia. Since then, it gave $560,000 to MAGA KY, which was spending to support Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-Ky.) challenger, who won, and it has paid other fees like for consulting, according to FEC filings, which account for spending through the end of May.
