Donald Trump moved to put his stamp on law-and-order politics again, ordering federal law enforcement deployments across Washington, D.C., and teasing a new plan he says would “essentially stop violent crime” in the capital. ABC News reports that agencies including the ATF and U.S. Park Police have posted images of agents patrolling city streets, while D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser pushed back, noting violent crime has been trending down after a 30-year low earlier this year. Trump has also floated a federal takeover or National Guard deployment, framing D.C. as a test of federal resolve on public safety, with a White House press conference expected imminently, according to ABC World News Tonight.

At the party level, the Republican National Committee touted a striking financial edge heading into the 2026 midterm cycle. According to new campaign finance filings cited by AOL News, the RNC closed the first half of 2025 with roughly $80.7 million cash on hand compared to about $15.2 million for the Democratic National Committee, giving Republicans a cash advantage of about $65.6 million. The committee says it has been closely integrated with Trump’s political operation, with RNC Chair Michael Whatley and Vice President J.D. Vance driving fundraising as part of a broader effort to protect and expand GOP congressional majorities. Democrats countered that they are breaking grassroots records but still trail in receipts so far this year.

On the state battleground front, Republicans and allied groups are keeping up legal and procedural pressure on election rules ahead of 2026. Arizona’s revised Elections Procedures Manual is drawing fresh scrutiny and potential challenges from GOP lawmakers, the state and national Republican parties, and conservative groups. The Arizona Capitol Times reports that several provisions were changed after litigation over the 2023 manual, including edits on voter intimidation language and certification mechanics, but Republicans say unresolved questions remain and are preparing further review before final sign-offs later this year.

Meanwhile, Trump’s personal political footprint inside the party remains robust. News From The States reports he dialed into South Carolina Republicans’ marquee fundraiser with a surprise phone call over the weekend, a reminder of his direct engagement with state parties as they organize and fundraise for 2026. His presence continues to shape Republican priorities, from fundraising and message discipline to public safety and federal-state power fights.

Strategically, Republicans are also amplifying redistricting and structural battles as force multipliers before the midterms. Political data analysts have highlighted GOP-led maps in states such as Texas, Florida, Missouri, Ohio, and Indiana as potential sources of new House gains, underscoring how the party is marrying a cash advantage, legal maneuvering over election administration, and aggressive mapmaking with Trump-aligned issue salience on crime and governance.
