VERDICT · MISLEADING
The statement is vague about who "we" refers to and which specific spending is being described. Without access to the full context of Jim Banks' remarks or verifiable documentation of millions being spent specifically to oust anti-Trump Republican state senators, the factual claim cannot be confirmed as definitively true. The lack of specificity and verifiable sourcing makes it more likely false or at best unverified.
