Trump says he plans to spend “a lot” of MAGA Inc. war chest in 2026 midterms, citing a figure of about $850 million

President Donald Trump said he is prepared to spend “a lot” of money from his MAGA Inc. account in the 2026 midterm elections, telling reporters he has raised about $850 million for the cycle. The comments were made as Trump traveled before taking a flight on Air Force One, according to The Hill.

Trump did not describe specific candidate races or spending targets in the remarks reported by The Hill. Instead, he emphasized the size of the account he said he has raised and said he would use it to support Republican candidates in the midterm cycle.

The remarks also did not include a breakdown of how the funds would be allocated across types of advertising or supporting activities, and the report does not specify whether the plan is to spend primarily through independent expenditures, coordinated spending, or transfers, which can be subject to different campaign finance rules.

MAGA Inc. is an affiliated political effort tied to Trump, and the Hill report refers to Trump’s description of the account as a “war chest” for the midterms. The report does not provide additional documentation or cite an official filing to corroborate the dollar figure or the timing of any disbursements.

Campaign finance reporting requirements generally include periodic disclosures for political committees and entities, but the Hill report does not cite a specific Federal Election Commission filing, court record, or committee statement reflecting the stated level of funds or the schedule for any midterm spending.

Trump’s comments come as federal midterm election activity accelerates across the election administration timeline, with political committees and allied groups preparing advertising and other support well ahead of Election Day. How much of the stated war chest is deployed, and through what mechanisms, may become clearer as committees report receipts and disbursements.

Reaction to such statements from parties and advocacy groups can also vary, but the Hill report primarily focuses on Trump’s own remarks about the amount raised and the intention to spend it in support of Republican candidates. Further detail would likely depend on subsequent public filings and committee communications.
