Trump groups spend millions on key congressional races

Three groups direct money into congressional races

President Trump’s super PAC and two affiliated groups have directed tens of millions of dollars into pivotal Senate and House races one month before Election Day. The effort involves MAGA Inc., No Going Back PAC Inc. and Safety & Affordability PAC Inc.

The spending reaches contests for both chambers of Congress rather than focusing on only the House or only the Senate. Republicans are seeking to retain congressional control, putting the outcome of those races at the center of the party’s election effort.

The money is moving through three political groups connected to Trump. MAGA Inc. is Trump’s super PAC, while No Going Back PAC Inc. and Safety & Affordability PAC Inc. are affiliated groups. Their combined activity represents tens of millions of dollars in congressional spending.

Timing raises the stakes for House and Senate campaigns

The groups are reporting the spending with one month remaining before voters reach Election Day. That timing places the money into the final stage of the House and Senate campaigns, when the remaining campaign calendar is short.

The activity reflects spending already reported by the groups, not simply an announcement of future plans. Because the effort covers pivotal races in both chambers, it is tied to the separate contests that will determine the makeup of the House and Senate.

MAGA Inc. is not acting alone in the congressional push. The participation of No Going Back PAC Inc. and Safety & Affordability PAC Inc. spreads the effort across multiple affiliated organizations while keeping its focus on races connected to control of Congress.
