Elon Musk’s America PAC is pouring millions into pivotal Senate races, focusing on attack ads against Democrats. For every dollar spent supporting GOP candidates, it allocates almost three to criticize Democrats.
The Texas Senate race features a massive $9.4 million spent opposing James Talarico, while backing Ken Paxton with $1.8 million. Paxton’s baggage is too much to handle in positive ads, and Trump’s approval ratings are abysmal in Texas.
In Ohio, America PAC spent $3.3 million against Sherrod Brown, while supporting Jon Husted with $1.6 million. The race is complicated by Husted’s association with data centers, a topic voters are tired of. Brown has effectively used this to his advantage.
In Iowa, the PAC spent $1.5 million attacking Josh Turek, while supporting Ashley Hinson with just $100,000. Hinson’s attempt to distance herself from Trump’s agenda has backfired, leading to attack ads against her from the Republican camp.
