Politics Trump, RNC Strike Deals on Fundraising

Donors could give up to $449,400 to two joint committees

Details on how Donald Trump's presidential campaign plans to collaborate on fundraising with national and state Republican Party committees are emerging. But the arrangement may leave some battleground states out of the loop.

The presumptive GOP nominee's presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee have inked deals that will allow political donors to contribute an aggregate of $449,400 to the Trump Victory and the Trump Make America Great Again committees.

Trump Victory is an effort between the Trump campaign, the RNC and 11 state parties: Arkansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. The RNC and the Trump campaign are jointly operating the Trump Make America Great Again Committee.

“The RNC is excited to team up with the Trump campaign to expand the robust ground, data, and digital operation we have in place to elect Republicans up and down the ballot,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus in a statement . “Donald Trump knows the importance of keeping our Republican majorities at the local, state, and national level, and these joint fundraising agreements are another vital step in making that happen.”

But just how much of the money raised will go toward Senate and House candidates and get-out-the-vote efforts in such battleground states as Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire is anyone’s guess.

Campaign finance experts said that joint-fundraising committees, common in recent years, have until later in the election cycle to move money between state party committees. Those funds can then be transferred to states with hotly contested races. Or the money can be directed back to the national party committee.
