MAGA Inc. Redirects $400 Million-Plus to 3 Senate Races as It Cuts House Targets

Summary
With three weeks until Election Day, MAGA Inc. is preparing coordinated cash shifts with other GOP super PACs, pulling back from less winnable House races to reinforce Senate defenses in Ohio, Alaska and Iowa.
Michigan’s 8th District is set to lose MAGA Inc. and allied spending by midweek, a retreat that reflects Republican doubts about unseating Democratic Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet and broader pressure on once-safe GOP House seats.
Ohio has become the clearest priority: Senate Leadership Fund has already spent nearly $100 million there, and MAGA Inc. is weighing further moves as appointed GOP Sen. Jon Husted trails Sherrod Brown in public and private polling.
The group still has more than $400 million available after spending just over half its roughly $500 million war chest, while also planning at least $5 million more in Texas as Republicans juggle an unexpectedly costly Senate map.
Democrats are targeting the same battlegrounds, with Senate Majority PAC adding $7 million in Ohio and $2.5 million in Iowa, underscoring how the final stretch is narrowing around Senate control.
