'''The Club for Growth''', nicknamed "Club for [[Chinese]] Growth" because of its support for phony [[free trade]] at the expense of [[American]] jobs, is a [[libertarian]]-leaning [[economic]] group funded by wealthy donors.  The organization has been known for endorsing and funding fiscally [[conservative]] candidates over moderates and [[Democrats]].  Club for Growth’s political action committee has been heavily involved in funding candidates who favor lowering taxes, and sometimes against [[Trump]]-endorsed "America First" candidates.  Perhaps learning from its past defeats by [[conservative]], pro-Trump candidates, in February 2023 Club for Growth endorsed [[Rick Scott]] (R-FL) while criticizing [[RINO]] Sen. [[Mitch McConnell]] (R-KY).<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/15/club-for-growth-rick-scott-mcconnell-00082926</ref>
