- Senate Majority Leader John Thune emphasized the importance of Trump’s financial involvement in Texas, estimating ad costs at $8 million per week and stressing the need to maintain the Republican Senate majority.
- Trump pledged to campaign for GOP candidates like Paxton and intends to allocate up to $500 million from MAGA Inc.’s war chest to support Republican midterm efforts nationwide.
- Despite some frustration within the GOP over Trump’s delayed engagement in midterm campaigning, MAGA Inc. had over $400 million available as of July 31 and has begun rolling out national ads promoting Trump’s agenda.
