She gave it to a PAC that reports all the money in and out,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s not like Elon Musk money, obviously, but it is it is interesting and maybe potentially a little bit telling on where the center GOP establishment is leaning and where they feel like the race is headed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>X users were shocked to hear the daughter of former President George W.
