Campaign $$$
My prediction from almost seven months ago...
"If $2 billion (half) of that money was Federal funds hijacked through a "virtuous cycle" via USAID, Trump just cut most, if not all of it, off from the 2026 mid-term elections.
Total 2024 election spending was around $16 billion, assume 1/2 was from the Democrat party. The loss of $2 billion out of $8 billion is a 25% cut."
Democrat fundraising fell 25% in Q2 of 2025, relative to Republicans. I expect it to fall a bit further now. Damn, I'm good!
Republican incumbents in swing seats (Cook Political Report “toss-up” & “lean” categories) raised a median of $860,000 in Q2.

Democratic incumbents in the same category raised a median of $689,000. That’s a ~25% gap at the candidate level, not just at the national committee… https://t.co/WAT9jrNMJJ
