President Donald Trump has told advisers he will keep raising money for his political operation after Republicans lost heavily in Tuesday’s midterm elections, Axios reported. The money would flow either through the super PAC MAGA Inc. or another organization, and Axios says the aim is to keep leverage over Republican lawmakers into the 2028 election cycle and his final two years in office. Democrats are on track to control both chambers of Congress in January, according to network projections cited by Raw Story. Vice President JD Vance has blamed Trump’s war with Iran for the party’s electoral losses, according to Just the News.
