Musk readies major GOP midterm push through America PAC
Why it matters: The effort could bolster Republicans' narrow House and Senate majorities as Trump's approval and the economy weigh on the party.
Elon Musk is preparing a major spending push to help Republicans hold Congress in the November midterm elections, Axios reported, reviving the political operation that backed Donald Trump's 2024 return to the White House. Musk plans to reactivate America PAC, which spent more than $260 million on Trump's bid, with a focus on canvassing, digital ads and direct mail aimed at lower-propensity conservative voters. The move comes as Republicans defend slim House and Senate majorities amid weak approval ratings for Trump, economic concerns and opposition to the Iran war. Musk's renewed role also follows legal scrutiny over America PAC's past voter-payment promotions.
