President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that his campaign will spend more than $400 million to help Republican candidates win the November 3, 2026 midterm elections, saying over $300 million has already been used for advertising, rallies and voter‑contact efforts.
What happened
In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump detailed the total amount his team intends to pour into the midterm race, describing it as the "most important midterm elections in our country's history." He listed the types of expenditures – advertising, direct and indirect voter contact, rallies, telerallies, get‑out‑the‑vote programs and election‑integrity measures – but did not break down how the money would be allocated to individual races.
What the reports add
The Al Jazeera article notes that the spending announcement comes as the Republican Party faces declining poll numbers, with a Reuters‑Ipsos poll showing only 31 percent approval for Trump. It also mentions that some Republicans are distancing themselves from the president, while others are urging greater support in close contests.
What was said
Trump wrote, "More than 300 Million Dollars has already been spent on Advertising, Direct and Indirect Voter Contact, Rallies, Rally Arenas, Telerallies, Get Out the Vote Programs, Election Integrity, and more," and added, "It is my Great Honor to do so on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to bring our Country back from the Edge of Oblivion." He also called the upcoming vote "the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country’s History."
How it came about
The spending pledge follows a series of Trump‑led campaign events, including a 32‑day rally tour that began on Oct. 2, 2026, and recent commentary linking his messaging to economic concerns such as inflation and energy costs. Earlier Felo coverage highlighted the party’s narrow congressional margins and the potential for Democrats to gain seats, underscoring the high stakes of the upcoming election.
