According to AXIOS, Trump has informed his advisors that he plans to continue fundraising for his political action in order to regain his political influence following the Republican midterm election defeat. Maintaining a political organization, whether it is the existing MAGA Inc. super PAC or a newly established group, will provide Trump with a platform to influence the elections in 2028 and beyond, including the next presidential election.This will also enable Trump to pressure Republican lawmakers who are considering breaking away from him.
