“It is my Great Honor to do so on behalf of the Republican Party,” Trump said in a social media post on Tuesday. He previously said his spending on the midterms would total between $400 million and $500 million, keeping about the same amount leftover in his war chest for 2028 or other purposes.

The money comes from a super PAC called MAGA Inc. and an allied nonprofit called Securing American Greatness. The super PAC has a disclosure report due Tuesday to the Federal Election Commission detailing its finances as of Sept. 30, including donors who gave more than $200. The nonprofit’s donors are not disclosed.

Trump said his figure also includes “Election Integrity,” referring to efforts to prevent voter fraud.
