Trump says he will spend up to $500 million of 'my money' to help Republicans in midterms
Trump's pledge would dramatically increase MAGA Inc.’s spending after the Trump-aligned PAC kept most of its $403 million war chest on the sidelines.
TL;DR
- Donald Trump plans to spend up to $500 million from his political operation to support Republican candidates before the November midterm elections.
- The funds will come from the MAGA Inc. super PAC, which reported $403.45 million in cash on hand as of July 31.
- This spending is intended to help Republicans in competitive House and Senate races.
- Trump stated he will personally decide how to direct the support towards candidates he believes can win.
- The MAGA Inc. PAC is an unauthorized hybrid PAC and cannot contribute funds directly to candidates, but can finance independent spending.
- Trump also suggested that funds would remain after November for potential use in 2028.
- This pledge follows Trump's earlier commitments to campaign more actively for Republican candidates in the closing weeks of the midterms.
