Recent Republican runoffs in Georgia and Alabama have produced mixed results for former President Donald Trump. In Georgia, Mike Collins has won the Senate nomination while Rick Jackson — a self-funding billionaire who spent over $100 million — has defeated Trump’s choice for governor, Burt Jones. In Alabama, Trump-backed Barry Moore has prevailed in a Senate runoff, reinforcing the influence of endorsements across parts of the GOP.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has raised more than $1.7 million for state parties and legislative committees this two-year cycle, showcasing a robust grassroots email-driven fundraising machine. The effort has drawn praise from party leaders in several states and fuels talk of a potential White House run. Other Democrats also contribute to party coffers and key races.
