Editorial: The New York Times

• Donald Trump has run businesses that have failed, facing frequent corporate bankruptcies.
• The Republican Party faces potential financial ruin as Trump siphons off funds for his own benefit.
• Trump's campaign finances are significantly lower than Biden's.
• Trump's legal costs are paid through his followers' donations and are threatening the financial health of the party.
• Financial troubles plague numerous state committees and party infighting exacerbates these problems.
• The financial shortfalls of the Republican Party are reflected in the battles for the House and Senate, where the Democratic committees have more funds.

Conclusion: Republicans should seek a leader who can unify the party and attract donors, rather than falling in line behind a leader who prioritizes his own interests over those of the party.
