Trump says "More than 300 Million Dollars" already spent for Republican midterms
“More than 300 Million Dollars has already been spent on Advertising, Direct and Indirect Voter Contact, Rallies, Rally Arenas, Telerallies, Get Out the Vote Programs, Election Integrity, and more. It is my Great Honor to do so on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to bring our Country back from the Edge of Oblivion. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Reported October 20, 2026 by cbs2iowa.com. Checked word for word against that report.
President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social account that he intends to allocate more than $400 million to support Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm contests, noting that over $300 million has already been used for advertising, voter‑contact operations, rally venues, telephone outreach, get‑out‑the‑vote drives and election‑integrity measures; he framed the spending as a service to the party. The post did not clarify whether the funds come from his personal resources or from allied super‑PACs. Recent reporting showed that Trump‑aligned groups such as MAGA Inc. have earmarked upwards of $130 million for ads, and Trump previously said he would channel a substantial portion of MAGA Inc.’s cash into the 2026 midterms after raising $850 million. In parallel, billionaire Elon Musk has contributed $276 million to Republican super‑PACs in the last quarter, bringing his total donations this cycle to $366 million.
