Just as I thought, you (or whoever you trusted) truncated the quote to change its meaning. I put in red the parts that your quote left out, i.e. the majority of what she said.
“That is the goal over the next nine-and-a-half months. If I am elected to this position, I can assure you, there will not be any more $70,000 — or whatever exorbitant amount of money it was — spent on flowers,” she continued. “Every single penny will go to the No. 1 and the only job of the RNC — that is elected Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country.”
So, the point was to contrast with previous GOP leaders who spent money on fluff rather than getting done the will of the voters. "Saving this country," covers a lot of ground besides just electing Trump. It would certainly include electing Republicans to the House and Senate.
I have even more reason now to want GOP candidates to be successful in the Senate and House. But that doesn't mean that the most important part is building up Trump's lead to a cheatproof landslide. Do that, and the Senate and House will follow without a lot of strain.
Look, couldn't you have just said "I don't like Donald Trump," instead of making up this lie that RNC money will be spent only on Donald Trump?
That does not remove the she said the ONLY job of the RNC is to get Trump elected. But then again I am sure you agree with that so you are good with it.
I will just warn you to be careful what you ask for.
