Report: GOP Donors, Frustrated by ‘Do-Nothing Congress,’ Stop Giving Money
The establishment wing of the Republican Party is reportedly being hit by a surging revolt from their donors — from whom the establishment gets its financial lifeblood — amid the failure of GOP leadership to get its agenda through Congress.
According to Politico, mega-donor Thomas Wachtell urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to “just do something” at a recent L.A. dinner. McConnell reportedly responded by noting that passing legislation takes time, but such a plea was not greeted favorably by attendees.
“You’re never going to get a more sympathetic Republican than I am,” Wachtell said, noting he had stopped giving money to the Senate GOP. “But I’m sick and tired of nothing happening.”
