Trump got the Senate candidates he wanted. How much will he spend to help them?

President Donald Trump has reshaped the U.S. Senate map by sidelining some Republican incumbents and promoting loyalists. With four months until November's elections, it's unclear how much MAGA Inc., with $382 million in the bank, plans to spend on key races. Senate Republican leaders have urged Trump's team to fund these decisions. In Texas, Trump endorsed Ken Paxton over Sen. John Cornyn, turning a safe election into a toss-up. In North Carolina, Trump backed Michael Whatley, hoping to flip the seat. Republicans expect MAGA Inc. to contribute, but its plans remain a mystery.
