The Republican National Committee (RNC) is trying to spur backlash to generate fundraiser for Republican Party candidates by exploiting the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's estate at Mar-a-Lago
Speaking to Fox News, Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel cited a fundraising disadvantage for her party's Senate candidates when asked how the party should respond to the control of Trump's mansion.
"We have to take the reins of power," McDaniel said. "The only way we can stop them is by winning the House and senate... Whoever listens, you have to get involved in the campaign."
She named several Republican Senate candidates who could use the money, including JD Vance in Ohio, Herschel Walker in Georgia, Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and Adam Laxalt in Nevada.
"President Trump is right when he compared this to Watergate," McDaniel said. "That's really scary. That's not what our democracy stands for."
