据美国联邦选举委员会的备案文件显示，距离中期选举仅剩两个月，特朗普总统坐拥4亿美元竞选资金，而共和党同僚们都在好奇他将如何开始动用这笔巨款。
本周，与特朗普的超级政治行动委员会“让美国再次强大公司”（MAGA Inc.）有关联的非营利组织“守护美国伟大”（Securing American Greatness）发布了首个全国播出的广告。
但这则广告的宣传重点是特朗普本人，而非当地国会候选人。
尽管这笔资金尚未拨付给候选人，但总统表示这笔钱终将用于支持共和党候选人。
“我筹集了大量资金，没人知道具体数额，但我可以告诉大家大概有8.5亿美元，”特朗普在8月21日登上空军一号飞往南卡罗来纳州前说道，“其中很大一部分我会用于——包括我自掏腰包的部分——但我会把这笔钱的大部分花在我认为优秀的共和党候选人身上。”
总统及其团队援引近期的政治历史称——只要他对支持者发出号召，他们就会到场投票。因此，他正试图说服支持者们“假装我也在本次选举的选票上”。
“拜托大家，就当我的名字也出现在选票上，”特朗普8月21日在南卡罗来纳州为参议员达琳·格雷厄姆举办的集会上说道，“前来投票，这非常重要。”
截至目前，“让美国再次强大公司”唯一一笔有意义的捐款是向格雷厄姆的竞选团队支付的82.7万美元。在格雷厄姆参选参议员之前，该超级政治行动委员会2026年在中期选举中仅花费了约1.8万美元。该超级PAC去年花费了约170万美元，截至第二季度末，已筹集到4.01亿美元。

下周在达拉斯举行的共和党风格的中期选举大会将继续聚焦特朗普本人。届时共和党将在体育场馆举办一场带有数十场演讲甚至气球放飞环节的总统级中期代表大会。
此次大会旨在展示该党部分崭露头角的政坛新星。但CBS新闻获悉，一些身处竞争激烈的国会选区的共和党候选人并未打算出席。
“我必须去竞选。在华盛顿或达拉斯没人会给我投票，我得待在迈阿密，”佛罗里达州共和党众议员玛丽亚·萨拉萨尔近日在国会大厦外对记者说道。
副总统JD·万斯周四表示，即便共和党人更愿意在自己的选区开展竞选活动，他也并不担忧。
“最重要的是，你必须走出去与选民见面，向他们传递你的竞选主张，”万斯说道。

Trump is sitting on a $400 million war chest ahead of the midterms. But how will he spend it?

With just two months to go before the midterm elections, President Trump is sitting on a $400 million war chest, according to Federal Election Commission filings, and fellow Republicans are wondering how he’s going to start spending all that money.
This week, Securing American Greatness, a nonprofit with ties to Mr. Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc., unveiled its first ad to air nationwide.
But the ad is focused on Mr. Trump instead of local congressional candidates.
And while the money has yet to flow out to candidates, the president says it will.
“I’ve raised a lot, and nobody knows what it is, but I will tell you it’s about $850 million,” Mr. Trump said before boarding Air Force One to fly to South Carolina on Aug. 21. “I’ll be spending a lot of that money for — and my own money — but I’ll be spending a lot of that money for candidates that I think are good, Republican candidates.”
The president and his team cite recent political history — if he tells his base to show up, they do. So, he’s trying to convince them to pretend he’s on the ballot.
“Pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot,” the president said Aug. 21 at a rally for Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina. “Come and vote. It’s so important.”
The only meaningful donation from MAGA Inc. so far was a $827,000 payment to Graham’s campaign. Until Graham’s Senate bid, MAGA Inc. had spent only about $18,000 in 2026 on a midterm race. The super PAC spent about $1.7 million last year, and by the end of the second quarter, it had raised $401 million.

The focus on Mr. Trump continues next week in Dallas when the GOP is set to gather for a presidential-style midterm convention at a sports arena with dozens of speeches — and even a balloon drop.
It’s designed to showcase some of the party’s rising stars. But CBS News has learned some Republican candidates in competitive congressional contests are not attending.
“I have to be campaigning. No one votes for me in Washington or in Dallas. I have to be in Miami,” Florida Republican Rep. Maria Salazar recently told reporters outside the Capitol.
Vice President JD Vance said Thursday he’s not concerned if Republicans would rather campaign in their districts.
“Most importantly, you’ve got to go out there and meet voters and message to voters,” Vance said.
