Five other Republican donors to the Arizona or Michigan parties, who have each donated tens of thousands of dollars over the past six years, told Reuters they had also ceased giving money, citing state leaders' drives to overturn the 2020 election, their backing of losing candidates who support Trump's election conspiracy and what they view as extreme positions on issues like abortion.
