Trump delivers $10 million to Ken Paxton in first major contribution of midterms
President Trump's MAGA Inc. super PAC had previously only given one donation this midterm cycle: about $800,000 to Darline Graham.
President Donald Trump has donated $10 million from his MAGA Inc. super PAC to Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton in the first major contribution of the midterm elections. Paxton, the current Texas attorney general, is in a close race against Democrat James Talarico. The $10 million includes $5 million for negative ads against Talarico and $5 million for positive ads promoting Paxton, as disclosed in a Federal Election Commission filing on Saturday.
The donation is set to be made through Del Ray Media Inc., a political media operation that handles both television and digital advertising. MAGA Inc. has a total of $400 million, but it had not made any significant donations during this midterm cycle until now.
