Trump-Backed Super PACs Deploy $138 Million in Midterm Ads

By Drooid · · How we work

Core Spending Surge

President Donald Trump’s political operation has set aside nearly $138 million in the last ten days to bolster Republican candidates in the 2026 midterm elections. The bulk of the money is tied to Trump’s $400 million “MAGA Inc.” super-PAC, which has accelerated ad purchases as the campaign season intensifies.

New PACs and Allocation

Two newly formed entities—No Going Back PAC Inc. and Safety and Affordability PAC Inc.—were filed with the Federal Election Commission minutes apart by the same treasurer. According to two sources with knowledge of the arrangement, both PACs are financially backed by MAGA Inc. No Going Back PAC has reserved roughly two-thirds of its ad inventory for Senate contests, while Safety and Affordability PAC has focused on House races, booking ads in fifteen lower-chamber contests.

Data Overview

AdImpact’s media-tracking data indicates that No Going Back PAC has booked over $95 million in advertisements, whereas Safety and Affordability PAC has slated $27 million in ad purchases. MAGA Inc. itself has committed an additional $9 million, currently earmarked for the Texas Senate race. The combined spending across the three entities approaches the $138 million total reported for the ten-day period.

Potential Impact on Midterms

The influx of funds marks a dramatic shift from earlier criticism that MAGA Inc. had been reluctant to engage in the midterms despite its sizable war chest. By channeling resources through the new PACs, the Trump-aligned operation aims to amplify messaging in both Senate and House battlegrounds, potentially influencing voter exposure and candidate competitiveness as the election cycle progresses.
