WHHO Grounds and Staff 20250624 KGraczyk 130 1

The White House has warned more than 3,000 conservative organisations that it is monitoring their public statements following Republican losses in the US midterm elections.

The memo emerged as prominent Republicans, including Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz, blamed US President Donald Trump’s policies for the defeat.

Elsewhere, online commentator Laura Loomer faced allegations of receiving undisclosed payments for political posts on X.

Records viewed by the media showed payments exceeding $60,000 to Loomer and her company, although the documents did not specify their purpose. Loomer denied being paid to post political messages.
