Trump's MAGA Inc gives $10 million to Paxton's Senate campaign ahead of midterms
The spending includes $5 million for pro-Paxton ads and $5 million against James Talarico as Republicans brace for a costly Senate fight.
- On Saturday, a Federal Election Commission filing revealed that President Donald Trump's super PAC, MAGA Inc., donated $10 million to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's U.S. Senate campaign.
- Paxton faces a tight contest against Democrat James Talarico, as Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate edge and Democrats need just four seats to win the majority.
- MAGA Inc. split the $10 million between $5 million for ads supporting Paxton and $5 million for ads opposing Talarico, drawing from a war chest holding more than $400 million in July.
- Trump told reporters on Friday he plans to spend between $400 million and $500 million from the PAC's $1 billion war chest, saying, "We're going to spend a lot of money because we don't want to lose our country."
- The Cook Political Report and Fox News recently deemed the race a toss-up; the funding arrives days before Republicans convene in Texas for a midterm convention aimed at engaging GOP voters.
