Republican Party megadonors are racing to bail out President Donald Trumps cash-strapped reelection campaign, with a newly formed super PAC pouring a further $25 million into battleground states.
Preserve America is set to begin running a trio of TV commercials savaging Democrat Joe Biden as Republicans express growing alarm over the presidents absence from the airwaves. Trump who went dark for part of August and has since cancelled advertising in key states is being outspent more than 2-to-1 by Biden this week, according to the media tracking firm Advertising Analytics.

The PACs are in control of the money and how it's spent. None of it is in reach of donnie's sticky fingers. That says a lot about how much they trust him. And yet, they want him to win.
