Tracking the money: The biggest donors in the 2026 US midterm elections

Political advertising in the 2026 US midterm elections is projected to reach a record $11.6bn, exceeding spending in the 2024 presidential cycle, according to AdImpact. The 50 largest donors and organisations have contributed $2.77bn so far: $1.67bn to Republican-aligned causes, $832m to Democratic-aligned causes and $264m to bipartisan or special-interest groups.
