President Donald Trump is blaming senior aides and political operatives for a faltering midterm strategy, according to three sources familiar with internal discussions. Trump is questioning campaign spending, redistricting, and second-guessing candidate choices as Republicans fight to retain control of Congress. The friction has centered on James Blair, the longtime aide who runs Trump's super PAC MAGA Inc., and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who has been questioned over her oversight of the political operation.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle rejected the sources' characterization as armchair experts peddling baseless speculation.
