GOP devotes $250M to midterm strategy: Keep House majority

WASHINGTON (AP) The Republican National Committee has committed $250 million to a midterm election strategy that has one goal above all else: Preserve the partys House majority for the rest of President Donald Trumps first term.
Facing the prospect of a blue wave this fall, the White Houses political arm is devoting unprecedented resources to building an army of paid staff and trained volunteers across more than two dozen states. The RNC is taking the fight to Senate Democrats in Republican-leaning states, but much of the national GOPs resources are focused on protecting Republican-held House seats in states including Florida, California and New York.
Our No. 1 priority is keeping the House. We have to win the House, RNC political director Juston Johnson said. That is the approach we took to put the budget together.
