Republicans deliver letter to RNC urging it to divert money from Trump, to congressional races By Katie Zezima August 16
More than 120 Republicans signed a letter that was delivered to the Republican National Committee on Tuesday, urging the organization to divert its financial resources away from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and toward helping congressional candidates win in November.
The letter was first made public last week. It states that Trump’s candidacy will have a “catastrophic impact” on down-ballot Republicans and that the committee should focus all of its available resources toward helping Republicans maintain control of Congress.
“This guy is a nut case. Let him sink on his own and take the money and the assets and the volunteers, all the things a party can bring to an election, and use them to help support the Republican candidates for other offices,” Mickey Edwards, a former congressman from Oklahoma, said of Trump.
“Otherwise this guy is going to drag the whole party down into oblivion by causing Republican legislators, Republican members of Congress, to get wiped out,” Edwards said.
The Republican National Committee and Trump’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
