As results trickle in from Arizona and Nevada, it's not clear who will control the Senate.
Donald Trump appealed to his supporters to raise money for the US Senate.
Donations don't go to candidates who are in trouble. They go to the committees that are connected to the president.
Donald Trump sent out a text message on Wednesday night as control of the US Senate remained undecided.
We have to win back our majority in the Senate. Trump encourages supporters to donate money to the "America Defense Fund" in order to win in Nevada, Arizona and Georgia.
Republican US Senate candidates such as Herschel Walker in Georgia and Adam Laxalt in Nevada may never see a dime of it.
According to FEC records, the Make America Great Again PAC and Save America are two of Trump's political action committees that benefit from contributions to the Save America Joint fundraising committee.
Some of that money could be used to help the GOP Senate candidates.
Either way, it's or not.
The money is controlled by Trump and his team. According to Federal Election Commission records, Save America and Make America Great Again have only spent a small portion of the $124 million they've raised to benefit Republican congressional candidates.
Trump has spent a lot of his money on himself, from travel costs to mounting legal expenses. According to federal records, the rest of it is unspent.
Trump's Save America PAC has spent a lot of money on candidates. Walker didn't benefit from it, but Perdue did.
On Tuesday, Kemp, one of Trump's least favorite Republicans for refusing to support the former president's incorrect claims that he won Georgia during the 2020 presidential election, was re-elected.
Trump was more focused on his own political prospects than those of Republican congressional hopefuls.
"Do you want President Trump to run in 2024?" was the message blasted by the Save America Joint Fundraising Committee.
Early next week, Trump is expected to make a campaign announcement.
He said he would make a big announcement at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
