Club for Growth's Influence on Senate Race Raises Concerns for Republicans

The Club for Growth, a conservative anti-tax group, is causing concern among some top Republican operatives and McConnell-aligned strategists as it positions itself against the National Republican Senatorial Committee in key states for retaking the Senate majority. The group's recruits, who are typically conservative hardliners, could struggle to win competitive races, potentially creating unnecessarily messy primaries or blowing another shot at retaking the majority. The Club has also launched an offensive against former President Donald Trump, raising the spectre that a primary that was already destined to be brutal could end up bloody.
