A tight alliance between the Club for Growth and former president Donald Trump cracked open when they backed different contenders in the Ohio senate primary two weeks ago.
People who have spoken to Trump say he regularly rails about the Club for Growth and the organization being disloyal.
“They were very opposed to me initially,” Trump said. The former president said he was not sure if McIntosh remained an ally and declined to say whether he’d taken his calls, but did note he was working with him on some races, such as ousting Republican Rep. Liz Cheney in Wyoming. That spending helped Trump notch a 58-1 winning streak for his endorsed candidate this cycle. Meanwhile, the former president’s PAC is sitting on more than $100 million and has
2016 attacking Trump’s record on taxes, trade, bailouts and health care, and held out on endorsing him even as he secured the Republican nomination. The alliance strengthened further after Trump left the White House, and McIntosh proved capable of influencing his choices as well. HeTrump to endorse Ted Budd for Senate in North Carolina and tried to clear the field by pushing Rep. Mark Walker to run for a House seat instead. “They were wanting me to step down from the Senate race and run for a House seat instead and there would be support,” Walker recalled of meeting the two together at Mar-a-Lago this year. Walker didn’t agree.
In this year’s Ohio Senate primary, the Club for Growth started backing Josh Mandel while Trump initially stayed on the sidelines. McIntosh thought he could keep Trump out of the contest, just as the former president had kept him out of Kansas in 2020, according to people close to the discussions. But other advisers prevailed, and he endorsed memoirist-turned-investor J.D. Vance.
