Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling out former President Trump for not spending more of his $100 million war chest to boost Republican Senate candidates ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
“I will say by the way I wish Trump was spending some of his money,” Cruz said. “Trump’s got $100 million and he’s spending almost none of it to support these candidates.”
Cruz also accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of withholding critical political dollars from “pro-Trump” candidates, while funneling money into races where “moderates” and Trump critics are running.
“It would be nice if Trump would spend some of that $100 million to help some of these candidates who Mitch is abandoning because they’re pro-Trump,” Cruz said. “Those are the two pockets of money that are there, and right now neither of them are spending in a number of these states. They’re not.”

He put some money to these races, but a lot of less then he could!
I stopped donating to Trump and all the PAC type groups a long while ago.
Just directly to the candidates.
Hey Ted. Line up at the airport to go to Cancun because election day is next business day + 1 ya tone deaf ..&.
Beside the fact that no person has done more efficiently with the appropriate resources, spent more time putting on rallies to bolster the Republican candidates in every state that mattered than Donald J Trump
His endorsement is gold
Cruz is unable to read a room
Cruz is a jerk.
Trump spends up to a couple mil per rally. He’s done about 30 of them. He also gave 25% of donations to the RNC right off the top. Know your role and shut your hole, Ted.
“ Cruz is a jerk”
In other words.
How do you donate directly to the candidate? I always get WINRED
Cruz why don’t you spend on them instead?
I can’t believe I supported this idiot once.
How about a good link?
Hopefully we “make senators irrelevant again” Governors can make it so.
Gee Ted, why don’t you go cry to your buddy Cocaine Mitch?
“I am one of many who has wondered why President Trump, in addition to his rallies, hasn’t put more money into Senate races to help win as big a Republican majority as possible.”
Because President Trump’s personal support is worth more than any expenditure of cash for TV ads.
His success rate for endorsements is unprecedented in US politics. His massive rallies in support of candidates are FAR more effective than TV ad buys.
Cruz continues to demonstrate his complete cluelessness regarding the paradigm shift in American Politics Donald Trump has created. Apparently, Cruz is not alone in this regard.

Thank you for posting that!!
He also gave 25% of donations to the RNC right off the top.
Whaaaaaa? I wouldn’t give a red cent to the RNC!
Good question.
75% of each contribution first to Save America, up to $5,000/$5,000, then to DJTP’s Recount Account, up to a maximum of $2,800/$5,000.
25% of each contribution to the RNC’s Operating account, up to a maximum of $35,500/$15,000.
Me too! I’d love to donate to Kari Lake but I refuse to go through WinRed. I had a bad experience with them in 2020 and it cost me hundreds of dollars.
$200,000,000.00 x 25% = $50m
$50m + $50m on midterm rallies = $100m spent or given away by trump
So there is your $100m.
He had to keep at least half for his run coming up next month.
That is more than reasonable.
Stay in your lane, Rafael Edwardo.
