President Donald Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC reported a $10 million independent expenditure in Texas’ U.S. Senate race in a Sept. 5 Federal Election Commission filing. The buy allocates $5 million to support Republican nominee Ken Paxton, Texas’ attorney general, and $5 million to oppose Democrat James Talarico, a state representative. The money is for television, streaming and digital advertising. The filing marks MAGA Inc.’s first disclosed general-election spending of the midterm cycle, after Republicans had pressed Trump’s operation to deploy its large cash reserves.
Analysis & opinion
Trump Ad RebuttalBalanced
Trump’s heavy spending in the Texas Senate race shows that reports saying he would not spend money to help Republicans were wrong. The ad blitz undercuts liberal media narratives, especially those relying on anonymous sourcing, about his lack of midterm support for GOP candidates.
