Elon Musk revives America PAC to fund Republican midterm push
Elon Musk is reactivating his political operation, America PAC, which spent more than $260 million supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. The super‑PAC is planning to invest up to $120 million in the 2026 congressional midterms, focusing on door‑to‑door canvassing, digital advertising and direct‑mail outreach in at least eight swing states. America PAC has already spent $52.3 million since Jan. 1 2025 and has raised $50.3 million this cycle, about $50 million of which came directly from Musk. Senior Trump adviser James Blair said the PAC’s return will give Republicans an “enormous boost.” Republicans currently hold narrow majorities in both chambers, and the November elections will decide all House seats and roughly one‑third of Senate seats, making the effort a potentially decisive factor in maintaining GOP control of Congress.
