Donald Trump The Republican National Committee joined President Donald Trump’s attack on the powerful public policy and political network built by billionaires Charles and David Koch, exacerbating a fight with some of the most influential conservatives over the future of the party. In a letter to donors on Thursday, the RNC questioned the network’s commitment to conservative candidates after its leaders decided not to endorse a GOP Senate candidate in North Dakota because of disagreements over policy positions.
Main Idea: Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee stepped up attacks on Charles Koch’s political network, deepening a fight inside the GOP over party direction and candidate support.
Key Points:
The fight between Trump, the Koch network, and the RNC could deepen GOP splits and make policy less stable for voters, workers, and businesses.
Public debate over donor influence may give voters a clearer view of which leaders and groups are shaping Republican decisions.
