*Trump says he will spend up to $500 million of ‘my money’ to help Republicans in midterms* • President Donald Trump said he plans to allocate $400 million to $500 million from his political operation to help Republican candidates in the November midterms. • MAGA Inc. reported roughly $403.5 million in cash on hand as of July 31, far below Trump’s claim that he has “close to a billion dollars” available. • The pledge comes after Republicans in competitive races had been waiting for MAGA Inc. to deploy more of its colossal war chest.
