Trump-aligned super PACs have spent hundreds of millions on House and Senate races, with a quarter of the total in early October, as Republicans defend an expanding battleground map.

01Summary

  1. 01MAGA Inc. reported $300.5 million in disbursements through Oct. 14, with $75.5 million spent in the first two weeks of October.
  2. 02MAGA Inc. sent $200 million to No Going Back PAC and $25 million to Safety & Affordability PAC, which together made over $209 million in independent expenditures.
  3. 03Safety & Affordability PAC spent $3.76 million in Arizona's 1st District and at least $1.4 million in Ohio's 10th, among other races.
  4. 04No Going Back PAC spent nearly $30 million in Michigan, $27.8 million in Ohio, $11.8 million in New Hampshire and $9.9 million in North Carolina Senate races.
  5. 05A New York Times/Siena College poll put President Trump's approval rating at 36%, with 59% disapproving.

02Why it matters

This spending reveals the depth of Republican electoral vulnerability; Trump's low approval ratings and Democratic gains in toss-up races could shift control of the House and Senate.
