  • House Speaker Mike Johnson met with the tech billionaire in Texas last week, declining to detail their conversation but stating, "we're gonna win the midterms."
  • America PAC, created during the 2024 cycle, has officially entered the 2026 midterm election with a stated purpose to support "key values" including fair justice, free speech, safe cities, and secure borders.
