The GOP’s midterm advantage | America, Actually

Description

The Republican Party is entering the midterm home stretch with a staggering $1 billion campaign war chest — nearly double that of comparable Democratic groups. But with President Donald Trump’s approval ratings falling and voters feeling the hit to their wallets, can cash counter a blue wave? New York Times national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher joins Vox’s Astead Herndon to break down the GOP’s massive financial edge. Plus, why Republicans are spending millions of dollars to defend deep-red states like Kansas and South Carolina, how small-dollar Democratic donors are reshaping races in Texas, and whether the GOP’s small-donor model can survive in a post-Trump era. 00:00 Can GOP cash stop a blue wave? 02:21 The GOP’s historic fundraising edge 04:50 Who’s bankrolling Trump and Republicans? 08:25 What GOP spending reveals about the Senate map 11:20 Why the GOP’s 2024 ad strategy may not land in 2026 14:51 How campaigns spend to reach voters 17:51 Why Dem governor races struggle to attract money 24:18 How donors shape the AI debate 26:17 What role will AIPAC play in November? 28:49 Who can raise money after Trump? 30:38 Takeaways America, Actually publishes video episodes every Saturday tackling key issues in politics, culture, and the economy.
