Trump pours $100 million in eleventh-hour scramble to try and save the doomed Republican majority after internal fury

Donald Trump says he will spend more than $400 million to support Republicans in the midterm elections, increasing his stated outlay from more than $300 million so far. The pledge comes as control of Congress is at stake and Republicans have voiced frustration that his political operation held back funds while competitive races needed support.

The article says Republican campaigns are projected to spend about $2.2 billion on advertising, compared with roughly $1.8 billion for Democrats. Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc. had more than $400 million in cash at the end of July and later reserved over $130 million in advertising; Trump has also held at least 15 campaign events. He has acknowledged expecting to retain money for a possible 2028 presidential campaign, while reports describe tensions among his aides over the party’s strategy.
