A super PAC backing Republicans in the U.S. House
Progressive Abdul El‑Sayed has won the Democratic nomination for the open US Senate seat in Michigan, defeating establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens in a close contest. The result has handed a high-profile victory to the party’s left flank and will set up a November general election against Republican Mike Rogers for a seat critical to control of the Senate.
Rep. Max Miller has refused to withdraw from Ohio's 7th congressional race after his ex-wife accused him of domestic abuse and the House Ethics Committee opened an inquiry. Party leaders missed the deadline to replace him on the general-election ballot, and Democratic groups have moved to boost challenger Brian Poindexter with millions in ad spending.
The Texas Senate contest remains tight with James Talarico leading Ken Paxton by about 0.6 percentage points in polls. Trump’s backing is shaping fundraising and messaging as Paxton seeks to close the gap before Election Day.
Elon Musk has directed hundreds of millions to Republican groups, with $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund and $76 million to America PAC, among others. This marks a historic level of personal political spending ahead of the 2026 midterms, aligning with a broader GOP fundraising push and a reversal of Musk’s earlier pledge to scale back political activity.
