The Trump campaign won’t be alone on the WinRed platform. It is joined by the Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

“Trump & the GOP have decided they want in on the power of the grassroots,” the group wrote. “But you can’t manufacture the people power that small-dollar donors on the left have built over the last 15 years. We’re excited to help them continue to make change in 2019 & 2020.”
