Given FEC spending totals, 5.6% of all the money spent by Republican campaigns this election cycle - candidates, superPACs, all of it - was donated personally by Elon Musk.
That's up from 3.8% in 2024.
That's up from 3.8% in 2024.
There will be post-mortems after the elections about Dem performance. All of those discussions should include two structural factors:
*Gerrymandering designed to make elections less representative
*Massive spending by the wealthy, including unprecedented spending by the richest man in the world

If not for Republican gerrymandering, North Carolina Democrats would be well on their way to winning both legislative chambers and unified control of government.
They’re poised to break the GOP supermajority, but flipping a chamber will be very tough. The state House *might* flip in a blue tsunami
