Trump Withholds Super PAC Cash From Midterms as Allied Nonprofit Buys $1 Million in Ads

Summary
Early voting is about to begin in competitive midterm races, yet Trump has kept most of his super PAC money on the sidelines, prompting Republicans to conclude the cash will not be fully deployed.
A Trump-allied nonprofit is instead putting $1 million into ads featuring the president, underscoring that available political money is being directed toward Trump-centered messaging rather than contested races.
Republican leaders now fear Trump intends to preserve much of the super PAC war chest for his own purposes, with the shrinking spending window limiting any late effort to influence key contests.
