- President Trump will headline the RNC's two-day midterm convention in Dallas next week, an event designed to galvanize Republican voters ahead of November's elections.
- Vice President JD Vance is also expected to address attendees at the inaugural convention.
- MAGA Inc. committed $10 million to the Texas Senate race through GOP media firm Del Ray Media, with $5 million supporting Paxton and $5 million targeting opponent James Talarico.
- Trump claimed the PAC has $1 billion at its disposal, while June reports estimated its actual cash at approximately $400 million.
- MAGA Inc. plans to spend between $400 and $500 million on November's midterms, saving the remainder for the 2028 election cycle.
- The $10 million Texas investment placates Republican calls for Trump to back candidates locked in toss-up races with Democratic challengers.
Why it matters: The $10 million Texas Senate spend answers GOP pressure for Trump to invest in competitive races, but the stated gap between his claimed $1 billion war chest and June's ~$400 million reported cash level means MAGA Inc.'s planned $400-500 million midterms outlay consumes most of the PAC's available resources.
