INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Trump is blaming senior aides for Republicans’ worsening midterm prospects, criticizing campaign spending, redistricting and candidate choices, Reuters reported. Trump has questioned why $200 million in spending by his super PAC has failed to improve polling and why his redistricting push, particularly in Texas, has not delivered clear gains. Tensions have centered on political adviser James Blair and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, with aides blaming one another. Source: Reuters
