Besides their Congressional election spending, companies have poured billions into Trump and his family. Enforcement cases were dropped, investigations were closed, and industries were invited to write their own regulations.
27 races have seen spending from both crypto and AI PACs, totaling more than $74.7 million. The most common pairing is Defend American Jobs (the Republican arm of the FairShake crypto super PAC network) and American Mission (the Republican arm of the Leading the Future AI PAC network), which have spent in 15 of these races, always supporting the same candidate. The two PACs share strategists and backers.
AI PACs have spent $24.3 million across these races. Each one pits the OpenAI– and Andreessen Horowitz–backed Leading the Future network against other AI PACs, and the largest fight was over Alex Bores in New York’s District 12.
Crypto PACs have spent $75.6 million supporting Republicans and $30.8 million supporting Democrats (71% Republican, 29% Democrat). AI PACs have spent $29.8 million for Democrats and $22.2 million for Republicans (43% Republican, 57% Democrat).
Of the money spent opposing candidates rather than supporting them, $41.7 million has gone against Democrats and just $1.7 million against Republicans. The largest targets are Illinois Senate candidate Juliana Stratton ($9.7 million) and Ohio Senate candidate Sherrod Brown ($16.4 million).
