WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump's re-election campaign is giving money to a surprising group of Republican candidates this fall _ those who are not only more moderate than he is, but also those who have openly defied him on the key issues of immigration and trade.
Some didn't even vote for him.
Reps. Jeff Denham of California and Carlos Curbelo of Florida, who led a failed effort opposed by the White House to circumvent House leaders and force a vote on granting citizenship to so-called Dreamers, are getting Trump's money, according to a list of favored candidates obtained by McClatchy.
