Republicans are pouring large sums in the 2026 US midterm elections with huge donations to secure Senate seats. Ad spending has reached a new high ahead of the elections. Polls suggest a unstable political landscape as election day draws near. Donald Trump has postponed rallies in Kansas and Iowa, while his campaign has clashed with former President Barack Obama on the campaign trail. The midterms are being closely monitored with four days left election day.
“The midterms are being closely monitored with four days left election day,” — Andreas Mercer, research director at Shipley Field Group, told our newsroom.
