The Republican National Committee’s first-ever midterm convention in Dallas is serving as both a roughly 100-item political program and a fundraising and campaign-strategy forum, with President Trump scheduled to speak on both nights. Republicans are weighing how Trump’s political operation should deploy its resources after MAGA Inc., his super PAC, made a $10 million advertising investment supporting Texas Attorney General and GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton. GOP committees and affiliated super PACs reported $657 million in cash on hand at the end of June, compared with $334 million for Democratic counterparts, excluding $400 million held by MAGA Inc. Trump has said he has more than $1 billion at his discretion and plans to allocate $400 billion to $500 billion to Republican campaigns. Republicans aim to retain Congress, but forecasts cited in the source shifted from a Senate toss-up and a 67% Democratic chance of retaking the House to a 51% Democratic chance of flipping the Senate and 68% chance of winning the House.
