A growing number of Republican National Committee members believe its campaign arm should help pay mounting legal bills for former President Donald Trump, a move that could strain the party’s ability to financially support other candidates in the 2024 election.

How many 'Republican National Committee members' are there and are they, like, filthy rich? (not from US). Kicking in a few million each could be a small price to be in favour with your future dictator

While I'm not sure about your exact question, I do recall hearing recently that the republican establishment is effectively broke, and has been causing a myriad of issues for local campaigns everywhere. There may be some number of private donors that will want to help bail Trump out, but that's still going to be money they won't be donating to help republicans win the house and the senate.

They are asking if the entire committee is rich people.
