WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump’s feud with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hasn’t yet become an all-out political proxy war.
A super PAC aligned with Trump intends to help Alabama Republican Sen. Luther Strange’s bid for re-election – even though Strange is the candidate favored by McConnell.
America First Action will spend at least $200,000 on a digital effort to get out the vote for Strange.
That’s according to a person familiar with the group’s plan. The person requested anonymity because the person was not authorized to be named discussing strategy.
Strange is facing a tight, multiple-candidate primary election on Tuesday.
