GOP's Mixed Reactions to Trump's Indictment

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is using Donald Trump's indictment to raise funds, but this strategy risks alienating swing voters. The NRCC had its best fundraising days of the year around the time of Trump's previous indictment, and Trump's legal woes are helping the NRCC through tough times. However, swing-district members are in a tough bind between the GOP primary voter base and the broader November electorate. Trump has worked so well as a fundraising draw that his attorneys sent cease-and-desist letters to the RNC, NRCC, and NRSC, asking the committees to stop using his name and likeness to raise money.
