President Donald Trump’s political machine made its most aggressive move yet over the weekend, with a newly formed super PAC reporting massive independent expenditures against Democratic candidates in some of the nation’s most competitive Senate and House races. Federal Election Commission filings show No Going Back PAC Inc. has begun converting its enormous war chest into real campaign firepower.
The spending represents the opening salvo of what could become a $500 million Republican offensive heading into the 2026 midterms.
Former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown is taking the heaviest fire, with approximately $6.7 million in spending aimed at defeating him. Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed faces $3.8 million in opposition spending, while former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is contending with $2.9 million. New Hampshire Democrat Chris Pappas has roughly $1.8 million working against him, and Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia is dealing with approximately $780,000 in opposition expenditures.
No Going Back registered with the FEC on September 1 and maintains close ties to MAGA Inc., Trump’s primary super PAC. The two organizations share a treasurer, address, and phone number, according to CNBC. The connection matters because MAGA Inc. reported approximately $403.5 million in cash on hand as of July 31, giving Trump’s operation extraordinary financial muscle heading into the midterms.
The new PAC’s ad reservations have climbed rapidly since its formation. According to AdImpact data reported by the New York Times, reservations jumped from roughly $25.8 million to nearly $49 million to more than $68 million by last week. Those reservations now cover six Senate races and 14 House districts.
State-by-state breakdowns show Michigan leading with $15.8 million in reservations, followed by Ohio at $11.1 million, New Hampshire at $10.7 million, Alaska at $9.1 million, North Carolina at $5 million, and Georgia at $2.1 million.
Trump’s operation isn’t fighting alone. Billionaire Elon Musk’s America PAC has also begun deploying money in Senate and House contests after Musk authorized as much as $120 million for its midterm effort. Reuters reported that America PAC had already spent millions across competitive races.
As an independent-expenditure-only super PAC, No Going Back can raise and spend unlimited amounts independently of candidate campaigns. It cannot legally coordinate expenditures with the candidates it supports. The PAC is not required to disclose its donors the same way a candidate committee would, and because it was established only on September 1, its initial donor information won’t become public until later in the fall.
