BlockBeats News, April 21st—With the upcoming U.S. midterm elections approaching, Donald Trump's Super PAC raised $35.6 million in March, boosting its campaign war chest to $550 million, marking the largest in midterm election cycle history for a President. Trump is currently attempting to preserve the Republican majority in Congress amid a tough battle.
According to Federal Election Commission filings, long-time Republican donor Diane Hendricks— who spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2024— contributed the majority of this month's fundraising, donating $25 million. Venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz each contributed $3 million. The California-based tribal organization Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation donated $2 million. A subsidiary of prison operator GEO Group Inc. (a federal contractor whose clients include ICE) donated $1 million.
Amidst a surge in funds, polls indicate that Trump's 2024 voter coalition is unraveling. Historically, the White House's incumbent party usually loses House seats in midterm elections, and Democrats are increasingly seeing a path to reclaiming the Senate.
