距离中期选举还有两个多月之际，共和党候选人仍在等待特朗普兑现竞选承诺。1特朗普及其团队掌控的MAGA Inc.截至7月底拥有超过4.03亿美元资金，是美国最大的政治资金库，但几乎没有用于支持共和党候选人。1这笔资金的闲置导致一些共和党人面临严重的筹资困境，特别是在德克萨州等关键州的竞选中。
德克萨州参议院竞选现状最为突出。1民主党候选人James Talarico已筹资超过6,850万美元，而共和党对手Ken Paxton仅筹资900万美元。1到6月底，Talarico账上拥有2,150万美元现金储备，相比之下Paxton仅有175万美元。1路易斯安那州共和党参议员John Kennedy对Fox News表示："我希望总统在德克萨斯州投入1亿或2亿美元，但他还没有承诺。"1
特朗普本人曾向Punchbowl News表示，他"当然"会帮助共和党，并声称"我几乎可以把这笔钱花在任何我想要的地方"。1然而MAGA Inc.在7月份仅新增300万美元，支出几乎为零。1共和党人担忧，即使特朗普最终投入资金，由于广告投放时间和成本问题，可能已经无法有效扭转竞选局势。1
With more than two months remaining before the midterm elections, Republican candidates are still awaiting significant financial support from Donald Trump despite his enormous campaign reserves 1. MAGA Inc., the political fund controlled by Trump and his team, held over $403 million as of late July, making it the largest political war chest in the United States, yet it has deployed virtually none of these resources to aid party candidates 1. The funding gap has become particularly acute in competitive races, such as the Texas Senate contest, where Democratic candidate James Talarico has raised over $68.5 million compared to Republican Ken Paxton's $9 million 1.
Trump has publicly committed to deploying his financial arsenal on behalf of Republicans. When asked by Punchbowl News whether he would help the party, Trump responded affirmatively, stating "of course" and adding that "I can spend this money almost anywhere I want" 1. However, Republican officials remain skeptical about the timeline and extent of such support. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana told Fox News that he hoped "the President will put $100 million or $200 million into Texas," but acknowledged that Trump "has not committed" to doing so 1. Despite adding $3 million to MAGA Inc. in July, the fund's expenditures remained essentially flat during the same period 1.
