Republicans are scrambling to raise millions of dollars after President Donald Trump moved most of the event from Charlotte. They say they’ve received several millions in commitments toward a fundraising goal of $20 to $25 million, but declined to be more specific.

Convention fundraising typically occurs over a span of two years. But after Trump clashed with North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper over his refusal to allow a full-fledged convention, Republicans launched a new multi-million-dollar drive in order to pull off a separate event in a different state.

The party had raised nearly $37 million for the Charlotte convention, about $7 million of which was unspent. But the Charlotte-based committee charged with organizing the convention refused to allow the remaining funds to be transferred to Jacksonville.

Well, that’s news. Previous accounts said the money had all been spent (which actually didn’t make any sense). But you can’t blame the Charlotte Host Committee for not sending their money to Jacksonville.

And the Florida GOP Governor is not making things easier:

Mr. DeSantis, a Republican, has directed his top fund-raiser, Heather Barker, to tell donors not to give to the convention because of a personal dispute between the governor and Susie Wiles, his former campaign manager who is serving as an informal adviser to the convention planners, according to multiple people familiar with his actions.
