\n

MAGA, Inc., the super PAC linked to President\u00a0Donald Trump, has made its first major midterm buy with $10 million in ad spending to support Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his Senate race, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission.<\/p>\n

Paxton and Democrat state Rep.\u00a0James Talarico\u00a0are locked in a tight race in which polls continually show the two candidates neck and neck.<\/p>\n

The $10 million will go toward\u00a0digital and TV\u00a0ads across the state.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s endorsement earlier this year already helped Paxton beat incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the\u00a0Republican primary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile James Talarico has a record of raising taxes on working families, my Protecting the Texas Promise Agenda cuts costs and makes life more affordable. Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump, for your support,\u201d Paxton wrote on X on Saturday while sharing a post about the ad buy. \u201cTogether we will win for Texas and America.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision comes after weeks of speculation over whether the super PAC would put money into the hotly contested race.<\/p>\n

Talarico\u2019s campaign also responded to the move, telling Fox News Digital, \u201cBillionaire-backed dark money groups are lying about James Talarico because they\u2019re scared of the people-powered movement we\u2019re building to fix this broken, corrupt political system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talarico, who has called for higher taxes on the wealthy, called out billionaires heading to the Republican midterm convention starting Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext week, billionaire mega-donors and their puppet politicians will gather at a convention in Dallas to clink champagne glasses and toast their own corruption,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re paying $20,000 for entry to a Billionaire Ball celebrating corrupt tariffs, billionaire tax breaks, and a new forever war that are all driving grocery costs through the roof. We\u2019ll be doing something different. We\u2019re bringing Republicans, Democrats and independents together to collect groceries for our neighbors who have been screwed over by corrupt politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calling him \u201cHigh Tax Talarico,\u201d MAGA Inc. spokesperson Alex Pfeiffer told Fox News Digital the Democrat \u201cwants to take money out of Texans\u2019 pockets. MAGA Inc. is going to ensure Texas knows about Talarico\u2019s radical policies and elects Ken Paxton to the\u00a0US Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talarico\u2019s campaign has raised $72 million\u00a0since the campaign began, mostly from small donors, compared to $16.8 million by Paxton\u2019s campaign, according to the Texas Tribune.<\/p>\n

The two anti-Talarico ads slam his policies on taxes and\u00a0rural hospitals\u00a0while touting Paxton\u2019s support for doubling the child tax credit, allowing tax breaks for medical expenses and a $50,000 deduction for first-time homebuyers.<\/p>\n

MAGA, Inc. has around $400 million in campaign funds, which Trump called \u201cmy money\u201d while speaking to reporters this week, adding, \u201cI\u2019m going to spend whatever amount of money necessary to try and help us.\u201d<\/p>\n
