A super political action committee aligned with President Donald Trump, MAGA Inc., is planning to spend $10 million on the Texas U.S. Senate race featuring Republican nominee Ken Paxton. Multiple outlets report the figure comes from filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), describing the purchase of TV and digital advertising.
The spending is aimed at boosting Paxton’s campaign ahead of the 2026 midterm elections against his Democratic opponent, James Talarico. The Hill and Fox News describe the ad activity as attack-focused, while other outlets frame it as the super PAC’s largest expenditure in the current cycle. The New York Times characterizes the filing as the group’s first general-election spending.
Outlets also differ slightly in emphasis and supporting details, with some focusing on how the money is used (including references to media entities involved in the buy), while others stress the strategic significance of the outlay in a tight race. Bloomberg additionally reports that Paxton’s broader campaign ad picture includes higher total spending figures beyond the initial $10 million disclosed for MAGA Inc.
