“President Trump is committed to saving America and Make America Great Again, Inc. will ensure that this is achieved at the polls in November and beyond,” Trump spokesman Taylor Budowitz said in a statement on Friday. Budowich has been charged with running the new super PAC, along with former Trump campaign aide Steven Cheung, who will serve as its communications director. Longtime Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio. Veteran GOP operative Chris LaCivita, who will become the group’s chief strategist. and Sergio Gor, whose conservative publishing team released Trump’s first post-presidential book last year (a collection of White House and campaign photos) and will serve as a senior advisor to MAGA, Inc. Alex Pfeiffer, former Fox News producer Tucker Carlson, will also join the business. Trump’s newest fundraising vehicle was first reported by Politico. With the November election fast approaching, Trump is under pressure to dip into his own mountain of cash to support candidates he helped win in competitive primaries but are now trailing or running close to their Democratic rivals. The former president, who has complained to allies in recent weeks about Senate contests in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Arizona, had about $103 million in his coffers as of late August, according to campaign finance reports from his leadership PAC , Save America, and the Bondi-run group. People familiar with the matter said most of those funds will go to MAGA, Inc., which is expected to begin spending next week on key interim matches. “He’s very concerned about Pennsylvania,” said one person who spoke to Trump recently, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. “We were talking about Pennsylvania and [GOP Senate hopeful Mehmet] Oz had mentioned that he would have voted to certify the 2020 election and the President says, “Now, why would he do that?” ” The same person said Trump has also expressed concern about Senate candidate JD Vance, who faces an unexpectedly competitive challenge from Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan in Ohio. “He really likes JD, but Ohio is a little too close for comfort.” So far, Trump has refused to open the door much to help his handpicked candidates in their general election contests. While Save America gave $1 million to a pro-Oz PAC shortly before the Pennsylvania primary, the former president has not contributed financially to the Republican Senate hopeful since. In Ohio, Save America wrote a $5,000 check to Vance’s campaign in June. Trump aides have long insisted that his spending is supplemented by campaign rallies and fundraisers he has held to benefit various Republicans — including recent rallies in both Pennsylvania and Ohio — along with his coveted endorsement, which has helped many of his chosen candidates to prevail in contested primaries earlier this year. But others say the former president’s lack of financial help shouldn’t be ignored. “Trump has never gone out of his way to help the candidates — unless he sees a way that helps him. His camp says, ‘Well, he’s helping them by doing these events,’ which I would say he’s not really so helpful because you never know if Trump is going to insult the nominee,” said Doug Hay, a GOP strategist and former communications director for the Republican National Committee. At his recent rally in Ohio, Trump told the crowd that Vance “kisses my ass” to maintain his support. In total, federal records show that Trump’s main fund-raiser, Save America, has contributed more than $8.4 million to candidates and committees at the federal, state and local levels since January 2021 — a significant amount, but almost nothing compared to what other major Republican groups have pledged, and only about $1.4 million more than the former President has spent on legal fees this cycle (almost $7 million). The pro-GOP Senate Leadership Fund is spending about $205 million on ads in Senate races this cycle, according to a CNN analysis that includes what the group has already spent and ad bookings for next month. Meanwhile, the Congressional Leadership Fund, which is aligned with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, plans to spend $141 million this fall on ads alone. A person familiar with the new Trump team said he will spend “heavily” in key Senate, congressional and gubernatorial races this fall. Trump is likely to give preferential treatment to candidates he has previously supported, and the group will focus most of its spending on television advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts, a person close to Trump said. The group has been in the planning stages for several months and could become part of his campaign machinery if he launches a third presidential bid, as widely expected. ”I don’t think anyone expects Trump to spend every penny he has, but there will be a significant investment going forward,” the person close to Trump said. After months of eyeing a tentative 2024 campaign launch date, Trump is now waiting to see how Republicans perform in November — hoping to avoid liability if the party’s overall gains prove disappointing. “He’s convinced there’s no upside to doing it before the midterms and a lot of potential downsides. Right now, the target is the first quarter of next year, but of course, once the election is over, he could actually do it anytime.” a Trump adviser said.
