NEW: Trump Stuns Dems With $25M Midterm Surprise

Published

on

President Donald Trump’s political operation is beginning to unleash a major chunk of its massive campaign war chest ahead of the midterms, with a newly created super PAC pouring tens of millions of dollars into some of the country’s most competitive races.

No Going Back PAC Inc., a group linked to Trump’s powerful MAGA Inc. super PAC, initially reserved about $25 million in advertising Tuesday before dramatically expanding its planned spending across several battleground states.

By Wednesday, the group’s advertising reservations had climbed to roughly $47 million across six Senate contests and one competitive House race.

The spending marks the biggest midterm push yet associated with MAGA Inc., which has accumulated a war chest of more than $400 million and has faced growing questions from Republicans about how aggressively that money would be deployed before November.

The biggest reservations include nearly $15 million in Michigan and more than $11 million in Ohio, according to media-tracking data.

The group also reserved approximately $9.6 million in New Hampshire and $7.7 million in Alaska, where lower advertising costs can allow political groups to stretch their money further.

Smaller advertising buys are targeting Senate contests in North Carolina and Georgia, along with a competitive Pennsylvania House race where Republican Rep. Scott Perry is fighting to hold his seat.

The sudden spending surge arrives as Democrats attempt to defend and expand their position in Congress while Republicans lean heavily on an enormous financial network heading into the final stretch of the campaign.

No Going Back PAC was incorporated Sept. 1, just days before the spending began.

Because of the timing of its formation, the group will not be required to publicly disclose its donors and other financial details until October.

Two people familiar with the operation told The New York Times that MAGA Inc. is financially backing the new group.

It remains unclear why Trump’s political operation opted to conduct the spending through a newly formed organization rather than MAGA Inc. itself.

No Going Back PAC offers only a limited explanation of its mission on its website.

It says it “makes independent expenditures in U.S. federal elections in support of candidates who share the values of the founders and funders.”

The group was incorporated by Republican political operative Charles Gantt, who specializes in campaign finance and has handled filings for Trump-connected organizations, including MAGA Inc.

No Going Back PAC has also begun spending outside its television and digital advertising campaign.

Federal Election Commission records show the organization has reported direct-mail spending designed to support Republican candidates and oppose Democratic candidates in a series of House contests.

The group has also targeted Democratic Senate nominee Josh Turek in Iowa.

The sudden burst of spending provides the clearest indication yet that Donald Trump‘s political network intends to deploy substantial resources in the closing weeks of the 2026 midterms.

MAGA Inc. had already begun opening its wallet before the new PAC’s advertising blitz.

The organization recently directed $10 million toward Texas to support Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton, who is facing Democrat James Talarico in one of the year’s closely watched Senate contests.

The new spending also arrives as other well-funded outside groups ramp up their own midterm activity, adding another flood of money to races that could determine control of Congress.

With less than two months remaining before Election Day, No Going Back PAC has gone from a newly registered organization to one of the most active outside spenders in the battleground map in a matter of days.
