'A Tremendous Complication': G.O.P. Dances Around Trump's Lingering Presence [View all]
The first spring donor retreat after a defeat for a political party is typically a moment of reflection and renewal as officials chart a new direction forward.
But with former President Donald J. Trump determined to keep his grip on the Republican Party and the partys base as adhered to him as ever, the coming together of the Republican National Committees top donors in South Florida this weekend is less a moment of reset and more a reminder of the continuing tensions and schisms roiling the G.O.P.
The same former president who last month sent the R.N.C. a cease-and-desist letter demanding they stop using his likeness to raise money will on Saturday evening serve as the partys fund-raising headliner.

The delicate dance between Mr. Trump and the party after losing the House, the Senate and the White House on his watch will manifest in some actual shuttle bus diplomacy on Saturday, as the partys top donors attend a series of receptions and panels at the Four Seasons Resort before traveling to Mar-a-Lago, the former presidents private club, to hear Mr. Trump speak.
