All have amassed enormous war chests, new filings show, making them the financial wild cards of this year’s midterm elections and feared political spenders.
If money talks, don’t mess with the A.I. industry, the crypto industry, the pro-Israel lobby or President Trump’s super PAC.
Those four interests are set to be the wild cards of the 2026 midterm elections: They have shown a desire to get involved in primary elections. They are unpredictable in general elections. And they each have tens — if not hundreds — of millions of dollars, according to new federal filings. Mr. Trump’s super PAC, by far the richest, has amassed a staggering sum of more than $300 million.
Meanwhile, the institutional Democratic Party is in the financial doldrums. The Democratic National Committee faces a nearly $100 million deficit against the Republican National Committee, according to the filings.
