Financial Times reports Trump controls about $400m in campaign funds via
political action committee MAGA Inc., accumulated ahead of the midterms. FEC and
AdImpact data show the PAC has spent under 1% of its cash on advertising so far
this year and has not booked future ad buys. With roughly two months until
election day, anxious Republican members are pressing him to deploy the funds;
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie said resources should be spent early. Trump said he will
decide how to use MAGA’s money, “basically I can spend the money wherever I
want. I will help the Republicans.” Political adviser James Blair indicated
those urging MAGA to spend will get their wish.
