Musk plans major Republican midterm spending push: report

- Musk previously spent more than $260 million to help elect President Trump in 2024 before a falling out over his four-month stint leading DOGE. His relationship with the president has since warmed.
- America PAC will coordinate with other GOP groups, leveraging its experience knocking on more than 10 million doors in 2024. The operation focuses on direct mail and digital advertising for non-presidential election years.
- Republicans currently hold a $300 million-plus cash advantage over Democratic counterparts, excluding the $400 million held by Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC. This aims to offset a political environment critics say favors Democrats.
- GOP control of Congress remains in jeopardy due to President Trump's low approval ratings on the economy and the Iran war. James Blair, the president's senior political adviser, stated, "We will again outsmart our opponents and ruthlessly execute our mission for the GOP.
