Trump-aligned Super PAC contributes $10 million to Ken Paxton's Senate campaign
MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting Donald Trump, has directed $10 million toward Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s 2026 Senate bid. The funds were paid to a media firm to finance advertising efforts against Democratic challenger James Talarico.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings released this past Saturday reveal that MAGA Inc., the super PAC aligned with former President Donald Trump, has funneled $10 million into the 2026 Senate campaign of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The financial transfer was directed to Del Ray Media, a political media company, to facilitate the production and distribution of two television advertisements targeting Paxton’s Democratic opponent, James Talarico.
This significant injection of capital highlights the early mobilization of resources for the 2026 midterm cycle. While the PAC is primarily associated with Trump’s political apparatus, this specific expenditure focuses on the Texas Senate race, signaling a strategic effort to secure the seat for the Republican candidate. The involvement of a super PAC in a primary or general election cycle at this stage is indicative of the high stakes surrounding the Texas Senate contest. As of now, the campaign has not released further details regarding the specific content of the advertisements beyond their intent to challenge Talarico’s platform. The move underscores the growing influence of national super PACs in state-level races, as they continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the messaging and financial landscape of modern American political campaigns.
