In a social media post, Trump called the upcoming elections 'the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country's History'. He wrote that it is his 'Great Honor' to provide the money 'on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to bring our Country back from the Edge of Oblivion'. The spending covers advertising, contacting voters, holding rallies and what Trump describes as supporting 'Election Integrity'.
