Spending by AI PACs
Artificial intelligence-focused PACs have contributed $50.9 million to both support and oppose candidates from Republican and Democratic parties.
Support
- Democrat
- Republican
Oppose
- Democrat
- Republican
However, spending to oppose Democrats does not always support Republicans, and vice versa. For example, when a PAC opposes a candidate in a primary against a candidate from the same party, they may be supporting a different candidate from the same party — or they may intend to support a candidate from the opposing party in a later election.
Based on committee support spending, individual contributions to other candidates, and statements supporting other candidates, opposition spending can be categorized based on likely beneficiary:
| Oppose spending | Targeted candidate | Election | Likely intended beneficiary | Beneficiary party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
