Trump, allies launch onslaught as midterms kick into gear
The Hill, Sep 20, 2021

Former President Trump and his allies are expanding their political activities across the map, asserting their presence within the Republican Party as the 2022 midterm cycle kicks into high gear.

Trump himself is issuing endorsements at a more rapid clip than earlier this year and is planning to barnstorm Georgia and Iowa in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, his allies are dropping millions of dollars to buoy his supported candidates in marquee races, and his affiliated consultants are airdropping into key races to boost backers and knock off incumbents viewed as disloyal.

[...]

Consultants allied with Trump are staffing campaigns against Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), two of his biggest intraparty critics. And outside groups like the anti-tax Club for Growth are providing air cover in various races, including releasing a blistering ad against former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R), who is running against a Trump-backed candidate for an open Senate seat.

[...]

However, many in the GOP maintain that Trump remains the de facto head of the Republican Party and that centrist grumbling will fail to knock Trump off the GOP throne.

“I think you've got the residual of the old GOP, the Bush Republican Party, not appreciating that they've been displaced by Trump,” said Club for Growth President David McIntosh. “That's going to be a big shift and painful for a lot of the older Republican officeholders who have figured out how to get along and go along in Washington. And we'll see how it plays out this cycle and the next cycle.”

"Former President Trump and his allies are expanding their political activities across the map, asserting their presence within the Republican Party as the 2022 midterm cycle kicks into high gear."

Ballot and election integrity are paramount; otherwise all the $$ spent and rallies will be for nothing.

President Trump I believe at this point is absolutely crucial to holding the GOP together, but the leftists/marxists are going to continue on with their agenda and that agenda includes ensuring that they remain in control.
