Derrick Van Orden, Eli Crane, and cory Mills. The group emphasizes the importance of early campaign spending to shape voter perspectives before candidates formally campaign, seeking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/box-office-hero-taylor-swift-concert-film-dominates-at-theaters\/\" title=\"Taylor Swift concert film dominates box office\">fill gaps left<\/a> by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee&#8217;s typically later spending approach. SAM expresses skepticism toward relying solely on the Democratic Party&#8217;s mainstream efforts and has received a positive response from donors toward its fundraising goal. Democrats made gains in the 2025 elections in several states, and SAM hopes to build on this momentum to challenge MAGA-aligned Republicans in 2026.Meanwhile,Republican groups criticize Democrats as disorganized,<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >signaling intense competition ahead<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Anti-Trump former Republican group Save America Movement to pour $100 million into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-roy-blunt-trump-should-focus-on-midterm-races-at-upcoming-rallies\/\" title=\"Sen.

The SAM previously protested President Donald Trump&rsquo;s return to office this year.<\/p>\n<p>The SAM describes itself as &ldquo;a dedicated group of Americans&nbsp;fighting for&nbsp;right vs. wrong, not left vs. right,&rdquo; and it will take that message into the 2026 elections.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Save America movement was started with the express mission of defeating MAGA, but the electoral side, particularly the 2026 elections, are absolutely critical to that mission,&rdquo; Mary Corcoran, co-founder and executive director of the SAM, told <em>Politico<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The organization will start with 10 Republican-held congressional districts, including those represented by Reps.

In Virginia and New Jersey, Republicans lost gubernatorial races and a number of state legislative seats. In the former state, Democrats also won the races for lieutenant governor and attorney general. In Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, noted swing states, Democrats won all four Supreme Court races.<\/p>\n<p>And most recently, Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn ran closer than expected in her election loss to Rep. Matt Van Epps (R-TN). The group wants to use the momentum to effect in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We can&rsquo;t truly break the MAGA movement until these Republican members of Congress are more afraid of their own voters than they are of Donald Trump,&rdquo; Brandon Hall, a political adviser for the group, told <em>Politico.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The SAM plans to gain an edge by spending earlier in the cycle than the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee does. It views the DCCC&rsquo;s usual late spending as a boon to its efforts because Republicans focus their efforts earlier.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Republicans have always been really good about speaking to voters early,&rdquo; Corcoran said. &ldquo;We need to fill that gap and ensure by the time the candidates are actually campaigning, the voters already have a perspective in their minds about how they&rsquo;re going to vote.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The DCCC is open to the help but defended its methods.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The DCCC is on offense, with more pick up opportunities in 2026 than last cycle,&rdquo; spokesman Viet Shelton said in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/12\/08\/anti-trump-former-republicans-have-a-multimillion-dollar-plan-to-save-house-democrats-00680114\">statement<\/a>. &ldquo;As [House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries] always says, more is more.
