Republican Campaign Groups Spent $2.9 Million at Trump Properties: Washington Post
The Republican National Committee accounted for nearly $1.8 million as GOP groups booked events, rooms and meals at Trump-owned properties, the report said.
- Between January 2025 and September 2026, Republican congressional campaign groups spent $2.9 million at President Donald Trump's properties on fundraisers, hotel rooms, and meals, continuing the financial relationship between the president's businesses and his political allies.
- Spending shifted to Mar-a-Lago in Florida after Trump no longer operated his Washington Hotel, forcing lawmakers and lobbyists to travel hundreds of miles from their districts to host events at the president's resorts.
- The Republican National Committee led spending with nearly $1.8 million, while Team Ronny PAC and candidate Joe Mitchell also directed significant funds to Trump properties. One Mar-a-Lago bill for Rep. Ronny Jackson exceeded $48,000 during his birthday celebration in April.
- Party officials defended the spending despite a recent slowdown as the president's approval rating fell, citing donor demand. "We hold events where donors want to show up, and that's Mar-a-Lago," NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella told The Post.
- Trump continues to collect millions through his resorts, a figure critics compare to his reported $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency income, while total spending remains slightly below inflation-adjusted levels from his first term.
