Donald Trump excluded from prospective GOP presidential candidates donor retreat
by Cami Mondeaux, Breaking News Reporter
February 07, 2023 08:03 AMThe prominent conservative fundraising group Club for Growth has invited a slew of prospective GOP presidential candidates to its annual donor retreat next month, with one big name left off the guest list: former President Donald Trump.
Club for Growth, which is known for its anti-tax and other conservative economic policies, is set to hold its annual retreat next month in which the group introduces possible candidates to big party donors ahead of the primary cycle.
David McIntosh, president of the group, told reporters the decision to leave Trump off the list wasn’t a personal slight, but he noted that Republican chances to win back the White House would be diminished with the former president at the top of the ticket.
“The party should be open to another candidate,” McIntosh said in a meeting with reporters on Monday.
