A newly formed Texas political action committee spent $131 million in 17 days supporting Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton and opposing Democrat James Talarico, an influx of money that underscores the scale of the fight over a Senate seat Republicans have held for decades.
The PAC spent more than $61.4 million in just two days on advertising and other campaign activity, according to financial filings reported by Axios. Tens of millions more could follow as the Nov. 3 midterms approach. The contest is on track to become the most expensive Senate race of the cycle, with overall spending potentially reaching $150 million to $200 million.
