America PAC Launches 3-State Senate Ad Blitz With $100 Million Midterm Lifeline

Summary
$100 million or more could flow from Elon Musk’s America PAC into the midterms after it opened a three-state ad campaign targeting Democratic Senate nominees in Texas, Ohio and Iowa.
The 30-second spots attack Democrats on transgender issues, accusing them of supporting men in women’s sports and taxpayer-funded gender care for minors.
James Talarico in Texas is one of the first targets; the ad uses his “God is nonbinary” remark, which he told CBS News in May had “missed the mark.”
The early offensive signals how America PAC plans to shape Senate races as Republicans face risks to both their Senate and House majorities.
