◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ On November 3, the USA will hold mid-term elections in which all 435 members of the House of Representatives, 35 of 100 senators and governors of 36 states will be re-elected. Their outcome will determine whether Republicans can retain control of both houses of Congress and thus ensure that Donald Trump can carry out his policies unhindered in the remaining two years of his second term. Against the background of the decline in the popularity of the head of state, the stakes for both parties are particularly high, which is reflected in the scope of the financing of the election campaign. Spending on political advertising and invited ad placements for the 2025-2026 cycle hit a record $11.21 billion through Oct. 27, according to ad spending tracking and analysis firm AdImpact. Why the current campaign will be the most expensive in history is in the RBC article. More infographics can be found on our Max channel.
