Trump Builds $600 Million War Chest to Influence 2026 Midterms and Beyond

Former President Donald Trump has amassed a formidable $600 million in political donations, positioning himself as a significant power broker within the Republican Party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Despite being constitutionally barred from seeking another term, Trump aims to leverage this substantial fund to bolster Republican candidates, support his legislative agenda, and maintain dominance within the GOP.

The fundraising efforts, which include high-profile events, have funneled contributions into multiple entities such as MAGA Inc. and Securing American Greatness. While a portion of these funds supports campaign advertisements and endorsements, a significant amount is reserved for future electoral influence. Trump plans to play an active role in upcoming races, endorsing candidates and potentially targeting Republicans who oppose his agenda.

This substantial war chest not only underscores Trump’s enduring influence within the Republican Party but also signals a reshaping of political financing norms, with his fundraising prowess positioning him as a central figure in GOP politics through 2028 and beyond.
