How it works: Trump is tapping his national network of allies to identify Republicans who were “weak” in 2020 because they refused to go along with his efforts to overturn the election. No office has proven too small.

His apparatus touches everything from unseating governors, members of Congress, state legislators and secretaries of state, to formulating policy and influencing local school boards…

Sources who have spent time with Trump at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago say it’s impossible to carry out an extended conversation with him that isn’t interrupted by his fixations on the 2020 election.

He’s intensely focused on demands that Republicans “get smart” and pursue efforts to “audit” and overturn that result.
