Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* In the Republican National Committee’s leadership elections, Donald Trump backed Michael Whatley and Joe Gruters for treasurer. Both of the former president’s preferred candidates lost.
* On a related note, after Ronna McDaniel won a fourth term leading her party, the RNC chair told Fox News that this will be her last term: She vowed to step down after the 2024 elections.
* Mother Jones took a closer look at Rep. George Santos’ top financial supporters, and the magazine found that some of the people listed as donors on the New York Republican’s campaign finance filings don’t appear to exist.
* At an event in South Carolina on Saturday, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham tried to tout Donald Trump’s 2024 prospects, telling the audience the former president “did it once and he can do it again.” This led to some heckling from election-denying attendees who responded that Trump already won “twice.”
