Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC has grown to about $400 million in cash by the end of June, adding roughly $18 million since June, and has raised nearly $100 million this year, but it has not spent to directly support GOP candidates in the midterms, instead incurring administrative and fundraising costs; Republicans question the delay in deploying the war chest as the midterms approach.
Republicans’ midterm prospects look dim as Trump has not approved a spending plan or endorsed key candidates, leaving campaign committees to guess how to deploy a $300M-plus war chest; while he signals increased engagement and the White House plans more battleground travel, privately lawmakers and donors are frustrated by a lack of urgency and clear strategy, with potential endorsements in Texas, Georgia, and New Hampshire shaping key Senate and House contests as MAGA Inc. weighs spending in waves.
Campaign-finance disclosures show Donald Trump’s fundraising network swollen to roughly $375 million across committees in late-2025, built from about $26 million via his joint fundraising committee, $8 million to his Never Surrender leadership PAC, and more than $300 million in MAGA Inc. The total dwarfs other Republican or Democratic war chests and could be deployed to influence the 2026 midterms or future elections, even though Trump cannot run again.

Jenna Ellis, a Trump-aligned attorney and co-defendant in the Georgia 2020 election interference trial, questioned why the super PAC MAGA Inc. is not funding her defense. Ellis faces charges of racketeering and socializing a public officer to violate their oath. She previously admitted to making false statements about the 2020 presidential election. Ellis's comments come as former President Trump has used campaign funds to pay his legal fees, raising nearly $54 million in the first half of 2023.
A pro-Trump group, MAGA Inc., has filed an ethics complaint against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing him of violating state laws by operating a shadow presidential campaign. The group alleges that DeSantis has taken meetings with donors, raised money for a political committee, and toured the country to sell books, while allies are reaching out to potential campaign aides. DeSantis has not formally declared a White House bid, but he has been promoting his book on a nationwide tour and laying out foreign policy positions on Fox News. A spokeswoman for DeSantis called the complaint a politically motivated attack.
