GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
