Trump’s Super PAC Is Running Midterm Ads — But They’re All About Trump

Republican lawmakers had hoped Trump would more quickly deploy his reserves to boost candidates ahead of the midterms.

President Donald Trump’s super PAC deployed its first general election advertisements on Wednesday — and almost all of them revolve around Trump.

The two new ads from Securing American Greatness, the MAGA Inc. political action committee’s nonprofit arm, focus heavily on the president and his agenda. Data from tracking firm AdImpact show the spots have begun running in major media markets across the country and cost around $1 million.

The Trump-focused ads come as some Republican lawmakers increasingly voice frustration that the president is not spending more heavily to defend the party’s narrow majority in both chambers of Congress.
