Trump Dials Up Battleground GOP for Rose Garden Dinner

President Donald Trump invited a broad group of GOP lawmakers in competitive races to a Rose Garden dinner at the White House, aiming to spur spending from his $400 million MAGA Inc. war chest ahead of the November elections. Attendees reportedly include several dozen lawmakers such as Derrick Van Orden and Tom Barrett, with the gathering clocking in before the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas and attendance expected to be mixed. Trump’s operation has spent little of the war chest so far, though he recently aided a GOP Senate primary.
