Trump's MAGA Inc holds $403 million war chest as Republicans await spending

President Donald Trump continues to amass a large campaign war chest while delaying spending, a strategy that has left Republican operatives anxious ahead of the midterms. MAGA Inc. has occasionally funded battleground events, such as JD Vance's Michigan appearance, marking rare expenditures this year. Frustrations grow among Republicans as air time becomes scarce and more expensive, narrowing their campaigning options. In Texas, Trump's backing helped Ken Paxton overcome John Cornyn in a GOP primary, turning the race into a potential toss-up as Democratic challenger James Talarico outraises Paxton by a large margin. Donor Dan Eberhart and others express hope that Trump will commit hundreds of millions to crucial races, though he has not yet pledged such spending. MAGA Inc. reports a substantial war chest, with more than $403 million at the end of July, underscoring the gap between fundraising strength and immediate campaign spending.
