A split is emerging among Republican anti-Donald Trump groups desperate to prevent the former president, who is dominating the party's presidential nomination battle, from reaching the White House again.
Some are still spending to stop him becoming the Republican candidate, while others have concluded it is inevitable he will be the nominee and have moved on to try and prevent him from winning the November 2024 general election, according to interviews with key groups spending against Trump and interviews with a half-dozen donors.
"We have stopped spending money in the primary. We decided we needed to hold our powder for the general election," said PAC president and Republican strategist Sarah Longwell. "The general election has begun," Galen said. The group is now targeting independents and Republicans unconvinced by the party's direction, especially upper-income suburbanites, in general election battleground states including Wisconsin. It hopes to spend $50 million next year to support Democrat Joe Biden. The group will back Biden's economic record and argue that Trump poses an "existential" threat to American democracy.
"I think for 2024, Trump is not the most electable candidate," a man sitting in a living room says in one ad placed by the super PAC Win It Back, which is linked to the anti-tax advocacy group Club for Growth. "He probably doesn't wake up without 50 emails from his attorneys about current or possible indictments."
