Trump-affiliated Super PAC spent $277m from early September to mid-October to
back Republican midterm candidates and raised an additional $25m, according to
FEC filings. Major donors included casino owner Steve Wynn, Blackstone’s Stephen
Schwarzman and billionaire Diane Hendricks. MAGA Inc., formed two days after
Trump won a second term, has now raised $449m — an unprecedented total for a
president entering a second term — and Republicans plus three allied Super PACs
have pulled in $2.1bn versus $1.3bn for Democrats.
