Promotional material from Republican - weep digesting it (5)
I believe the answer is:
blurb
'promotional material' is the definition.
(blurb is a kind of promotional material)
'republican weep digesting it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'republican' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'weep' could be 'blub' (I've seen this before) and 'blub' is found within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blurb that I've seen before include "Fulsome advertising matter" , "Publisher's descrtion of book" , "Publisher's promotional description" , "Publisher's promotional text" , "Book jacket commendation" .)
