亿万富翁迈克尔·布隆伯格向民主党捐赠8000万美元,以在中期选举的关键时期推动党派候选人的竞选活动。136布隆伯格的政治顾问霍华德·沃尔夫森表示,"221席与230席在众议院多数席位方面确实存在差异",反映出这笔捐赠对争夺众议院控制权的战略重要性。6
与此同时,唐纳德·特朗普承诺为共和党竞选投入至少4亿美元。345特朗普表示,其政治机构已经花费3亿美元,计划在选举日前至少花费4亿美元支持共和党候选人。5共和党全国委员会也转移了5000万美元以支持中期选举候选人。2
布隆伯格的捐赠分配策略具体包括向其共同创立的枪支安全组织Everytown for Gun Safety捐款2400万美元,向众议院多数派超级政治行动委员会捐款1600万美元,以及向德克萨斯州参议员候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科的超级政治行动委员会捐款250万美元。6这些捐赠在9月和10月期间进行。6
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has committed $80 million to support Democratic candidates in the midterm elections, marking a major financial push as voting day approaches.136 According to Bloomberg's political adviser Howard Wolfson, the funds were distributed during September and October, with significant portions directed toward securing House control.6 The donations include $24 million to Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun safety organization Bloomberg co-founded, and $16 million to House Majority PAC, along with $2.5 million to a super PAC supporting Texas Senate candidate James Talarico.6
This Democratic investment stands in sharp contrast to Republican fundraising efforts. Former President Donald Trump has pledged to spend at least $400 million to support Republican candidates, with $300 million already deployed as of his announcement.56 The Republican National Committee has also transferred $50 million to assist midterm candidates.2 Trump's commitment significantly exceeds Bloomberg's contribution, underscoring the scale of spending by both parties' major donors heading into the election.134
