"Among the Winklevoss twins' other donations: More than $2.6 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund and National Republican Congressional Committee, which are devoted to preserving to the party's tenuous House majority. $1 million to the pro-Trump MAGA Inc. super PAC. More than $1.6 million to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Senate Leadership Fund, which are defending the party's majority in the upper chamber."
