Groups associated with President Donald Trump have recently reserved over $130 million in advertising. This significant move has taken place in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections.

As of September 21, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. EDT, President Trump appeared at a campaign rally. He was supporting Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley in Gastonia, North Carolina. This event was captured last week by photographer Kevin Lamarque of Reuters.

For several months, Republicans experienced anxiety. They feared President Trump might keep the party’s largest financial resources unavailable during the midterms. This scenario could risk losing their congressional control. However, with the latest developments, the funding is now being put to use.
