Em desenvolvimentoPróxima verificação a : Developments in spending and fundraising across 2026 congressional and state-level primaries, and the relevant party nominations being decided.
Ponto da situação
Campaign spending has surged: a primary that cost about $1 million five years ago now costs $10 million to $30 million, while companies spent a record $517 million on congressional races in 15 months through early 2026. The latest report says Trump proposed a $5,000 payment to every adult if Republicans win both chambers in November; it is not law and would require congressional approval, with its legality and funding disputed. The primary cycle’s nominations are not reported as decided.
