Former US President Donald Trump addresses a campaign rally in Dalton, Georgia, on the eve of the run-off election to decide both of Georgia's Senate seats on Jan 4, 2021.
In a response letter, the Republican National Committee said that Trump"reaffirmed" to RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel over the weekend that he approves of the party's current use of his name, wrote Justin Riemer, the RNC's top lawyer. The party also argued it had"every right to refer to public figures as it engages in core, First Amendment-protected political speech".The letter indicated Trump would participate in the party's donor retreat scheduled for next month in Palm Beach, Florida, which is home to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.But in a statement late on Monday, Trump declared:"No more money for RINOS", the acronym for the pejorative term"Republicans in Name Only".
In an effort separate from the Republican Party, Trump is using his Save America super PAC to raise money in part to help handpicked Republican candidates in the 2022 congressional elections. Some of them are expected to challenge Republican incumbents whom Trump considers disloyal. Still, Trump has committed to helping Republicans try to win back control of the US House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2022 elections that will be an early referendum on the leadership of Democratic President Joe Biden.
