Donald Trump's war chest is going to be used to support Republican Senate candidates in the final weeks before the election.
Trump's newly christened "MAGA Inc," a superPAC that's funneling donations from elsewhere in Trump's orbit, has spent millions across Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Ohio, and Nevada so far. There is a Senate race in five states that could decide control of the Senate. It's hard to tell how much money a group is spending after buying ad time. According to Ad Impact, it appears to be no more than $2 million in each state.
According to a previous report, "MAGA Inc." was looking to make a big splash in the election. Taylor Budowich is a spokesman for Donald Trump. Prior to this recent news, Trump only spent a small amount on Republican candidates. The former president has used endorsements and rallies.
The endorsements of former football star Herschel Walker and Mehmet Oz helped them get nominated in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Arizona, respectively. Trump's political brand could be weakened if they struggle in the election. Adam Laxalt was a top 2020 campaign official in Nevada and led an unsuccessful attempt to overturn Biden's victory there.
The ads can't be coordinated because they are being done by a super PAC. It's important to remember that outside spending can make a big difference in close races.
Oz, Vance, Masters, and Laxalt weredwarfed by their Democratic opponents in terms of money raised. Pundits don't think the races are close to call. According to the Cook Political Report, Masters still lags behind Mark Kelly in Ohio.
