Trump's RNC takeover triggers strife and staff exits as purge partly backfires

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : By doing joint fundraising, Trump and the RNC can accept donations as large as $814,600.
52% : The one bright spot for the new RNC leaders since their takeover has been Trump recording his best fundraising month of 2024, now that the former president is working with the committee as part of a joint fundraising agreement.
49% : During the Republican primary, Trump had been limited to taking checks with a maximum amount of $6,600 through his campaign.
48% : The party said that Trump, the RNC and their shared accounts now had $93.1m cash on hand for April, roughly double what they had a month earlier as they narrowed the cash gap with Joe Biden's campaign coffers.
36% : Trump and the RNC pulled in $65.6m in March, the party announced last week.
35% : The idea was to ensure there would be no overlap between the RNC and the Trump campaign, which already had robust political and communications teams, and to weed out any staffers who were not fully committed to Trump and the wider Maga movement.
35% : But the threats of termination and the rumored loyalty tests - which turned out to be accurate when staffers were asked in job interviews if they thought the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, though there has been no evidence of election fraud - may have been too aggressive.
