National GOP Groups Spent $81K To Defend Prices House Seat For Every Day In Cabinet

Well, that was worth it.
Former Rep. Tom Price’s (R-GA) move to President Trump’s cabinet opened up a seat that ended up costing national Republican groups $18.8 million to keep in their hands, part of the $60 million spent total on the most expensive House race in U.S. history. Now he’s been pushed out after spending hundreds of thousands of government money on unnecessary private jet travel.
Price was sworn into the cabinet as Health & Human Services secretary on February 10th — 231 days ago. That means the National Republican Congressional Committee, Congressional Leadership Fund, and other national Republican groups were forced to spend a whopping $81,490 for every day he was in the cabinet, burning through campaign cash like Price burned through jet fuel.
That’s $570,432 a week, $2.7 million a month.
Those groups aren’t exactly pleased with how things played out, and wouldn’t mind some payback.
