"Trump's Fundraising Focus Shifts to Major Donors and Billionaire Backers"

Donald Trump's new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee prioritizes directing donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays his legal bills before the RNC gets a cut, raising concerns among some Republicans. The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, with the group devoting 84% of its spending to Trump’s legal costs. Trump's handpicked leadership team for the RNC includes his daughter-in-law Lara Trump and Chris LaCivita, who serves as one of two campaign managers for the Trump campaign and is now also taking on a chief of staff role at the RNC. Trump's political operation is struggling to catch up to Biden on fundraising and organization, with his main campaign account and the Save America PAC reporting a combined $15.9 million raised in February, while Biden's political operation raised $53 million.
