The Republican National Committee (RNC) wasted no time in declaring the presumptive nominee for the upcoming election. However, the RNC is currently facing financial challenges, with reports of a cash crunch surfacing.
Meanwhile, tech mogul Elon Musk recently met with Donald Trump, as reported by The New York Times. Musk later clarified on social media that he is not donating money to either presidential candidate.
Despite Musk's statement, there are concerns about potential indirect support for Trump through other means. Musk's influence on social media platforms like Twitter has been criticized for enabling right-wing extremism to flourish.
On the financial front, the Trump campaign and the RNC are struggling with limited funds. Much of the money raised is reportedly being used to cover legal expenses, drawing attention to the financial burden on low-income supporters who contribute small amounts to the campaign.
With Trump solidifying his position as the presumptive nominee, there are growing concerns about his control over the RNC. Observers note that Trump has effectively taken over the party in recent years, leading to comparisons with an incumbent rather than a traditional political leader.
Many describe Trump as having a cult-like hold over both the party's base and its establishment, a level of influence rarely seen in political leadership. This unique dynamic has confounded traditional polling methods and underscores the unconventional nature of Trump's leadership within the Republican Party.
