[Midterm Elections Approaching: U.S. Media Exposes Musk's Generous Donations to Republicans] According to a report by Golden Finance on June 26, based on an analysis of data from the U.S. Federal Election Commission by *The Washington Post*, as the midterm elections draw near, major donors in American politics have so far contributed over $1.3 billion during this election cycle to influence national politics. These donors tend to support the Republican Party, and this funding could be crucial for Republicans to maintain control of Congress in November. In the first half of 2026, donors leaning toward the Republican Party contributed a total of $880 million, compared to $290 million from donors leaning toward the Democratic Party. Bipartisan and special interest groups contributed $200 million. Newly minted trillionaire Elon Musk topped the list of individual donors, contributing $85.1 million to Republican-affiliated organizations or individuals.
