Trump Plans Major Spending from $1.5 Billion War Chest for 2026 Midterms
Trump controls $483 million in disclosed funds mainly via MAGA Inc. to influence 2026 midterms and maintain GOP majorities, though spending plans remain uncertain.
- Controlling roughly $483 million, President signaled at a Palm Beach NRSC retreat that significant funds could support GOP candidates in 2026.
- To protect his legislative agenda, Trump’s team argues the White House political operation builds a war chest to preserve Republican majorities and prevent Democratic derailment.
- Campaign finance records show funds are collected by groups with limited disclosure; MAGA Inc. holds $304.4 million, the Republican National Committee $95.1 million, and donations flow through nonprofits and super PACs, making spending hard to track.
- Republican insiders say the war chest could decide close races, but some doubt Trump will fund dozens of 2026 contests and warn of NRSC and NRCC access barriers, while Susie Wiles, White House chief of staff, vowed weekly campaign appearances.
- To buy the cheapest ad time, advisers say Trump must act within months and he could stage events at his Florida and New Jersey properties or his D.C.-area golf club, where conservative groups spent at least $26 million since 2015.
