The midterms are shaping up to be a battle of bank accounts as much as ballot boxes, and one industry in particular is putting an enormous amount of money behind its political priorities.
The cryptocurrency industry has emerged as one of the largest sources of political cash in the 2026 elections, pouring roughly $200 million into the midterm cycle as it seeks to elect a Congress willing to rewrite the rules governing digital assets.
Four major crypto interests alone — Ripple Labs and co-founder Chris Larsen, Coinbase, the Winklevoss twins, and Crypto.com — have contributed roughly $202 million during the election cycle, according to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/28/us/politics/billionaire-midterms-donors.html">New York Times</a> campaign-finance data published Friday. 
Ripple and Larsen have given $65.7 million, according to the Times. Coinbase has contributed $55.2 million, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have given $42.7 million, and Crypto.com has contributed another $38.6 million.
At the center of that effort is Fairshake, a crypto-focused super PAC whose affiliated groups operate on both sides of the aisle. Fairshake had raised nearly $137 million during the 2026 elections by July, according to <a href="https://perma.cc/9HD8-SKG9">FEC records</a>.
<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/which-midterm-candidates-is-crypto-industry-backing-2026-08-03/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Reuters</a> reported in August that the industry has backed a bipartisan collection of candidates who have generally supported crypto-friendly candidates. Congress has already delivered one major victory on that front, with President Donald Trump signing the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-sends-genius-act-to-trump-passes-two-other-crypto-bills">GENIUS Act</a> last year, establishing a federal regulatory framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. 
Now, the industry is pushing for the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/what-is-us-senates-landmark-crypto-bill-2026-07-22/">CLARITY Act</a>, which would establish broader rules for digital assets and delineate regulatory authority over the industry.
The legislation has become a major priority for crypto companies, which have spent more than $225 million on lobbying since Trump returned to the White House, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/352a15ac-53c4-46eb-b75e-957f0388dc79?syn-25a6b1a6=1">Financial Times</a>. 
The bill passed the House but has encountered resistance in the Senate, including from Republicans concerned about its implications for traditional financial institutions.
Not to be outdone, traditional partisan mega-donors such as Republicans Jeff Yass, Miriam Adelson, Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein, Paul Singer, Ken Griffin and Democrats George and Alex Soros remain major players, pouring hundreds of millions into races across the country.
But the Times&#8217; list of the 20 largest donors shows how quickly technology and industry-specific political interests have moved into the upper echelon of campaign finance. 
Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, along with their venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, lead the list with $115.3 million in contributions. Elon Musk follows with $90.5 million, while OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman and his wife Anna have contributed $50 million.
Andreessen Horowitz is a major funder of Fairshake while also backing Leading the Future, a super PAC focused on electing politicians favorable to the artificial intelligence industry. 
Reuters reported that the firm has contributed more than $81 million to political action committees focused primarily on crypto and AI, while its founders have also made personal contributions.
For all the tech dollars pouring into the political arena, however, the traditional party structures remain <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-democrats-cash-crunch-and-what-it-means-for-2026-and-beyond">the sweetest plum</a>. 
Republican committees and allied congressional super PACs entered the general election with roughly $657 million in cash on hand, compared with approximately $334 million for Democratic committees and their allied organizations. President Trump&#8217;s MAGA Inc. super PAC adds another enormous reservoir of Republican-aligned money, with more than $400 million available heading into the final months of the campaign.
With the general election approaching, the cryptocurrency industry has amassed enough political firepower to make sure lawmakers in both parties are listening.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson backed millions of dollars in additional funding for a state academy while his son was simultaneously serving as the institution’s legislative lobbyist and working as a private lobbyist.
Jackson, who served as president of the Maine Senate from 2018 to 2024 and is now the Democratic nominee challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, cosponsored legislation in January 2024 that sought to substantially increase taxpayer funding for the Maine Maritime Academy.
At the time, Jackson’s son (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/graham-platners-replacement-accused-of-having-kids-with-cousin">and third cousin</a>), Chace Jackson, was registered as the academy’s legislative designee — the employee designated to lobby the Maine Legislature on the institution’s behalf, according to a review by the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/troy-jackson-cosponsored-bill-sending-millions-of-taxpayer-dollars-to-sons-lobbying-client/">Washington Free Beacon</a>.
The bill, Legislative Document 2092, lists “President Jackson of Aroostook” among its Senate cosponsors. A fiscal analysis projected that the proposal would require an additional $2.6 million in fiscal year 2024-5, increasing to $5.5 million the following year and $8.4 million in fiscal year 2026-27.
Chace Jackson had registered as Maine Maritime Academy’s legislative designee in December 2022, identifying himself as the academy’s “legislative affairs coordinator.” He filed another registration in January 2024, this time using the title “legislative coordinator.”
The elder Jackson had already backed a substantial increase in the academy’s funding the previous year. In July 2023, he voted for a state budget that provided the Maine Maritime Academy with an additional $2 million per year, an increase the Maine Service Employees Association described as the academy’s “single biggest” funding increase in years.
The academy thanked lawmakers for the additional funding but said it still needed more money to keep pace with rising costs. 
Jackson’s 2024 legislation would have provided the additional $13.4 million a year. The bill passed the Senate under Jackson’s leadership but ultimately did not become law.
Maine requires state departments and agencies to designate employees to lobby the Legislature on their behalf. The state Ethics Commission says an employee designated as a department or agency’s primary lobbyist must register with the commission. Chace Jackson, however, simultaneously worked as an outside lobbyist for the Resurgam Group, a lobbying firm founded by Troy Jackson’s former chief of staff and current campaign adviser B.J. McCollister.
Records reviewed by the Free Beacon show that Chace Jackson initially listed the Resurgam Group’s office as his mailing address on his Maine Maritime Academy legislative-designee registration and provided a personal email address rather than one belonging to the academy. His 2024 registration listed an academy email address, phone number, and mailing address.
A longtime Maine legislative staffer told the Free Beacon that the arrangement appeared to be an example of preferential treatment for the son of the Senate president. 
“I can’t think of another time that has happened,” the staffer said of Chace Jackson’s simultaneous roles as a legislative designee and outside lobbyist, arguing that the arrangement suggested he was “skirting the rules.”
The overlap is particularly notable given Troy Jackson’s political rhetoric. Jackson has portrayed himself as a working-class opponent of the political “system,” describing himself as a “fifth-generation logger” and saying he entered the Senate race because “the status quo isn’t working.” 
In an April gubernatorial <a href="https://www.mainepublic.org/politics/2026-04-17/your-vote-2026-profile-troy-jackson-democrat-for-governor?utm_source=chatgpt.com">candidate profile</a>, Jackson blamed “special interests, high-priced lobbyists and corporate greed” for preventing legislation he supported from becoming law. 
“I’m tired of folks being told to hold on, wait a little longer or that now is not the right time,” Jackson said. “All thanks to the work of special interests, high-priced lobbyists and corporate greed.”
Chace Jackson previously worked as a lobbyist for Preti Flaherty, one of Maine’s largest government affairs firms. In 2019, while his father was Senate president, Chace Jackson <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/troy-jacksons-son-repped-oil-and-gas-company-lobbying-against-bill-that-died-in-jacksons-senate/">represented Global Partners LP</a> as the company lobbied against legislation targeting its petroleum facilities following an emissions controversy. 
One of the bills subsequently died in the Troy Jackson-controlled Senate.
In 2022, Chace Jackson joined the Resurgam Group. In 2024, the final year of Troy Jackson’s tenure as Senate president, the firm received $182,500 in lobbying compensation from nine clients represented by Chace Jackson, according to Maine lobbying records reviewed by the Free Beacon.
The younger Jackson’s political work for his father also predates his lobbying career. Troy Jackson’s 2014 U.S. congressional campaign paid Chace Jackson more than $32,000 in salary, making him the campaign’s highest-paid staffer. The junior Jackson subsequently contributed $1,833.78 to the campaign, although $1,750 of that contribution was returned.
A spokesman for the Jackson campaign defended the candidate, saying that “Troy Jackson has fought for working Mainers” and that his work is “guided by one goal: fixing our broken system so Maine’s working families stop getting squeezed while the rich get richer.”
It is unclear whether Chace Jackson still works for Maine Maritime Academy. The academy has not submitted legislative-designee registration forms for 2025 or 2026, and the Ethics Commission said it stopped requiring the academy to make those disclosures after determining it was no longer a state department or agency.

As Democrat James Talarico outspends Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton by tens of millions of dollars in the Texas Senate race, some Republicans are pushing for more help from President Donald Trump to defeat the leftist candidate in a race that appears surprisingly competitive. 
Recent filings show Talarico raised about $31.6 million in the latest fundraising quarter to Paxton’s $9.3 million, a total in line with the Democrat&#8217;s major cash advantage throughout the race. The stark contrast in fundraising and polls showing a close race in a historically solid red state have led some Republicans to seek the president’s aid. 
Over the weekend, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) declared that GOP Senate campaign arms have no money budgeted to support Paxton, who defeated incumbent Senator John Cornyn in one of the most expensive primary elections in history. 
“We in the Senate don&#8217;t have the money budgeted for Texas. We need help from the president. The president says he has $850 million in his campaign account. That&#8217;s a lot of jack,” Kennedy told Fox News anchor Jacqui Heinrich on Sunday. “I&#8217;m hoping that the president is going to spend $100 or $200 million in Texas. But he hasn&#8217;t committed to it yet. But in the meantime we&#8217;ve got a race, and I&#8217;m not going to play act and say that we don&#8217;t.”
Kennedy was referring to recent comments made by Trump, who vowed to spend big to back Republican candidates. 
“Well, I’ve raised a lot, and nobody knows what it is, but I will tell you it’s about $850 million,” Trump <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6044628-trump-spending-maga-pac-midterms/">said</a>. “I’ll be spending a lot of that money for — and my own money — but I’ll be spending a lot of that money for candidates that I think are good, Republican candidates.”
MAGA Inc., a political action committee aligned with the president, has over $400 million in the bank, according to campaign filings. A Republican operative familiar with MAGA Inc. plans told The Daily Wire that the group &#8220;will spend on competitive races&#8221; and is &#8220;committed to retaining our majorities in the House and Senate.&#8221;
Talarico, who has attempted to brand himself as a moderate despite his history of far-Left advocacy in the Texas legislature, has had his campaign coffers <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/talarico-is-out-fundraising-paxton-and-flooding-the-airwaves-in-texas-senate-race-ec9277c9?mod=Searchresults&amp;pos=2&amp;page=1">boosted</a> by out-of-state Democratic donors in wealthy Massachusetts enclaves like Nantucket and Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.
“There&#8217;s no sense bubble wrapping it. We got a race in Texas,” Kennedy said on Sunday. “Money is an issue. Mr. Talarico has been raising bucket loads of money from California, Hollywood, all the beautiful people who partied with Harvey Weinstein.” 
The calls for help in Texas for Trump&#8217;s assistance have grown as other major GOP fundraising arms, including the Senate Majority Leader John Thune-aligned Senate Leadership Fund and the Republican National Senatorial Committee, have done little to support Paxton. 
Some donors have said they don’t plan on spending in Texas because they are bitter over the outcome of the GOP primary. 
“The message to Trump world is, ‘you broke it, now you own it. You gotta spend some of your money to defend him because we’ve got bigger fish to fry,’” one <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/21/trump-maga-pac-spending-texas-01045426">unnamed</a> donor told POLITICO. 
Last week, Trump traveled to Texas, where he attended a fundraiser for the National Republican Committee and rallied in support of Paxton, whom he endorsed in the primary. “I’m going to help Ken Paxton, and I’m going to spend a lot of time in Texas,” Trump said ahead of the event. 
In recent weeks, MAGA Inc. has been stepping up its campaign presence, backing Senator Darline Graham’s successful race in the South Carolina Republican primary with an $800,000 ad buy. On Monday, Vice President JD Vance will be campaigning in Michigan at a MAGA Inc. event for Republican Mike Rogers. Rogers is running against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed to replace outgoing Democrat Senator Gary Peters.

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed attempted to explain comments he made after a March terrorist attack on a Detroit-area synagogue, but Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers quickly dismissed the Democrat&#8217;s remarks as an insincere political maneuver.
El-Sayed <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/us/politics/el-sayed-apology-jewish-democrats.html">addressed</a> the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus at the state Democratic Party’s convention in Lansing on Saturday, telling reporters after the convention that his response to the attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township had been inappropriate. 
“My comments might have been misconstrued to be justifying something I did not intend to justify,” El-Sayed said. “To anybody who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I’m really sorry. That was not my intention.”
El-Sayed also said that he had tried to provide “context” for the attack when he should have simply condemned it. 
“What I was trying to do was offer context for why it happened, but it wasn’t the time for context, and you don’t ever want to trample somebody’s pain,” he said.
The comments came months after a Muslim man intentionally drove a truck into Temple Israel and opened fire on a security guard in what federal authorities described as Hezbollah-inspired terrorism against Jews. In his initial response, El-Sayed condemned the attack but also attempted to explain it, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/radical-senate-candidate-admits-he-struggles-to-say-israel-has-a-right-to-exist">saying</a> that “violence is a cycle” and &#8220;hurt people hurt people.&#8221;
El-Sayed continued his efforts to mend relations with Michigan’s Jewish community Monday, <a href="https://x.com/AbdulElSayed/status/2094439339681828951">posting on X</a> that he was “grateful” to join the Michigan Jewish Democrats at their Summer Simcha event. “There is so much more that we agree on than what divides us,” El-Sayed wrote. “Glad to share space with this thoughtful, vibrant community.”
Rogers, however, said El-Sayed’s latest remarks did not amount to a genuine apology. “When someone says you might have been offended by what I said, that’s not an apology,” Rogers said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade on Fox and Friends. “He has a long history, Brian, of antisemitic comments, inflammatory comments. He’s angry. He’s aggressive.”
Rogers argued that El-Sayed’s change in tone was driven by political pressure rather than a genuine change in his views, especially since El-Sayed&#8217;s campaign is attempting to attract Jewish Democrats uncomfortable with his record.
“The polling said, hey, he needed to change this,” Rogers said, pointing to what he described as a growing number of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democratic-ag-warns-el-sayed-is-making-excuses-for-domestic-terrorism?author=Drew+Berkemeyer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=13&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Democratic+AG+Warns+El-Sayed+Is+Making+%E2%80%98Excuses%E2%80%99+For+Domestic+Terrorism">Jewish Democrats in Michigan</a> supporting his campaign. “We’ve had big events. That group is swelling by the day. So that was his sad attempt, I think, to try to stem that bleeding.”
“But listen, you are who you are,” he added. “This guy is so thick with that angry rhetoric about antisemitism, and it is causing real problems around the state.”
El-Sayed’s apology comes amid broader scrutiny of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hasan-piker-brags-el-sayed-is-faking-moderation-to-scam-voters">his relationship with Hasan Piker</a>, the America-hating political streamer who campaigned alongside El-Sayed during the Democratic primary. El-Sayed has said he does not plan to campaign with Piker during the general election, but has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/el-sayed-defends-alliance-with-hasan-piker-in-newly-circulated-video">stopped well short of condemning him</a>.
The Democratic nominee defeated Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in the August primary despite concerns from some Jewish Democrats over his views on Israel and his associations with Piker. 
Rogers said those concerns are becoming increasingly apparent. 
“We talked to a Jewish woman the other day, University of Michigan, who has to hide her Star of David because she’s afraid to walk to class because of the aggressive behavior toward her because she’s Jewish,” Rogers said. “We’ve got to stop this.”
“Abdul’s too extreme for this state,” he added. “And we’re going to beat him in November.”

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is escalating her criticism of the Democratic Party’s handling of antisemitism, warning that the party has become increasingly hostile to Jewish Americans and expressing concern that U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has never withdrawn comments she says appeared to rationalize an attempted attack on a Michigan synagogue.
Nessel, a Jewish Democrat who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jewish-democrat-ag-wont-attend-partys-convention-due-to-safety-concerns">previously announced</a> that she would skip the Michigan Democratic Party’s upcoming state convention because she feared being harassed, discussed her concerns Wednesday on The Atlantic’s “<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/2026/08/david-frum-show-dana-nessel-jewish-voters-michigan/688413/">The David Frum Show.</a>”
“I began to perceive an enormous amount of antisemitism within the Democratic Party,” Nessel told host David Frum, saying the problem had intensified following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Nessel said she has faced antisemitic death threats since taking office, but that the nature of the hostility changed after October 7. 
“I would say mentally unstable people on the far Right that were threatening me or other Jews, but now it became really a both-sides situation,” she said.
The comments come as Michigan Democrats remain divided over El-Sayed, a left-wing Senate candidate who defeated Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in the Democratic primary and is now the party’s nominee for the U.S. Senate seat.
Nessel specifically pointed to El-Sayed’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/radical-senate-candidate-admits-he-struggles-to-say-israel-has-a-right-to-exist">response</a> to the March 12 attempted attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, a synagogue with a large preschool where approximately 140 children were present.
El-Sayed initially condemned the attack, saying there was “no room for antisemitism in America.” But in a <a href="https://x.com/AbdulElSayed/status/2032529011646038257?s=20">video</a> released the following day, he went further, linking the attempted attack to the deaths of the gunman’s relatives in joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes. 
“A week earlier, an airstrike killed [the gunman&#8217;s] niece and nephew,” El-Sayed said. “Imagine if that had never happened. Imagine there was no war in Iran. Imagine if there were no airstrikes in Lebanon.”
He then said Americans could “and must” condemn both the attack on Temple Israel and U.S. military action overseas. Nessel said she believes that framing amounted to an unacceptable attempt to contextualize or excuse domestic terrorism. 
“I don’t think we should ever be making those kinds of excuses,” Nessel said. “And in a way, propping up people who maybe seek to commit those crimes.”
Nessel said she believes El-Sayed privately regrets the remarks after meetings with Jewish elected officials and members of Michigan’s Jewish Democratic caucus. But she said that, nearly six months later, he has still not publicly withdrawn the comments. “He still has not withdrawn those statements and said, ‘I misspoke,’ or, ‘I now recognize the harm that I caused by making those statements,’” Nessel said. “And it has me concerned that he really stands by them.”
Nessel said she has increasingly encountered what she views as a fundamental misunderstanding of Judaism, Israel, and the relationship between Jews around the world and the Jewish state. 
“I think that’s really caused a rise in, again, they would call it anti-Zionism, but I call it antisemitism,” she said.
Her concerns have already prompted Nessel to take the unusual step of skipping her own party’s state convention. Nessel announced last month that she would not attend the August 29 Michigan Democratic Party convention in Lansing because she believed she would be heckled or booed. 
“I feel like my presence isn’t going to be welcome,” Nessel said at the time. “I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed. I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage.” 
She said she believed that would happen because “it’s been happening to me.”
El-Sayed has embraced prominent anti-Israel activists during his campaign, including appearing with leftist streamer Hasan Piker. Former Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow, another prominent Michigan Democrat, has also acknowledged antisemitism within the party. McMorrow <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2026/05/mcmorrow-says-dems-have-an-antisemitism-problem-during-mich-senate-debate/">said</a> earlier this year that an attendee at the Michigan Democratic Party&#8217;s onvention directed an antisemitic slur at her Jewish husband while he was walking with their young daughter.
El-Sayed has rejected the notion that criticism of his Israel policies is evidence of antisemitism, arguing that antisemitism and Islamophobia are both manifestations of what he called “the scourge of white supremacy.” Nessel&#8217;s warning comes less than three days before Michigan Democrats are scheduled to gather in Lansing, where Nessel herself will be absent because she fears the reaction of fellow Democrats.
“I still — I leave hope for the fact that Abdul will have heard what many of us have said about why we’re very upset about those remarks,” Nessel said. “And that he will seek to, I don’t want to say clarify, but at least to withdraw those earlier remarks.”
“He still hasn’t done it,” she added. “But I hope that we’ll hear more from him about this soon.”

Democratic AG Warns El-Sayed Is Making ‘Excuses’ For Domestic Terrorism

Florida Democratic Senate candidate Angie Nixon is running a coffee shop and bookstore in Jacksonville where, according to her own account, customers can receive free Plan B emergency contraceptive pills.
Nixon, a Democratic Socialist state representative, owns Café Resistance, which she describes as a “bookstore, coffee shop, and community hub.” In a <a href="https://convergencemag.com/articles/angie-nixon-dont-surrender-power/">June interview</a>, Nixon said the business distributes free Plan B while also hosting events and conversations for members of the “LGBTQ community.”
“We offer free black history lessons on the first and third Saturday,” Nixon said in the interview. “We host mental health workshops. We give away free Plan B emergency contraceptive pills. We invite the LGBTQ community to host conversations that build bridges.” Nixon described the establishment as a “safe place and community hub,” saying she opened it in response to Florida legislation restricting books and classroom instruction.
The café’s role in distributing contraception is one part of Nixon’s radical record on social issues that has put her at odds with Florida Republicans and Gov. Ron DeSantis. Nixon has <a href="https://x.com/AngieNixon/status/1622034876680527872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1622034876680527872%7Ctwgr%5Efce7b459fa6eb025bc02c23b0682574de54838ae%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftennesseestar.com%2Fnews%2Fflorida-democrat-admits-taking-daughter-to-drag-shows-just-folx-dancing-in-cute-outfit%2Fsberry%2F2023%2F02%2F07%2F">repeatedly</a> <a href="https://x.com/NRSC/status/2089882534125478399?s=20">defended</a> bringing her children to drag performances. In 2023, amid debate over Florida legislation restricting minors’ access to adult live performances containing lewd or sexual content, Nixon <a href="https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2023/04/12/florida-lawmaker-on-concept-of-erasing-lgbtq-community-over-drag-show-drama-damn-right/">said</a> the legislation was “designed to target parents like me.”
“I know what’s appropriate for my child &amp; this is taking away MY PARENTAL RIGHTS,” Nixon wrote at the time, describing the drag show as “just folx dancing in cute outfits.” Nixon has also opposed Republican-backed restrictions on transgender policies in Florida schools. During debate over legislation expanding Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law and restricting schools from using pronouns that do not correspond with a student’s sex, Nixon <a href="https://www.clickorlando.com/news/2023/04/01/florida-house-backs-parental-rights-in-education-law-expansion/">said</a>, “The LGBTQ community isn’t going away, trans people aren’t going away.”
After the Supreme Court ruled that states and schools could prohibit transgender women and girls from participating in women’s sports, Nixon put out a <a href="https://angienixon.com/u-s-senate-candidate-angie-nixon-responds-to-scotus-ruling-allowing-states-to-bar-transgender-girls-from-girls-sports/">statement</a> criticizing the decision, arguing that it put “trans children and all young girls and women athletes in harm’s way.”
She also previously accused DeSantis of attempting to “eliminate black history and push out our LGBTQ friends.” Nixon is now taking that record to the statewide stage as she seeks to fill the Senate seat once held by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. She will face current Senator Ashley Moody to finish Rubio’s term — which ends in January 2029. Her campaign is centered on issues such as housing, wages, health care, and organized labor, while her record on cultural issues places her firmly on the party’s far-left wing.
Democrats face a steep climb in Florida, where Republicans have won statewide elections by increasingly wide margins. Nixon nevertheless argues that year-round organizing and an appeal to disaffected working-class voters can give Democrats a path back to power.
Whether that strategy can overcome Florida’s political landscape remains to be seen. But Nixon is offering voters a candidacy that pairs an explicitly socialist economic agenda with a far-left approach to some of the country’s most contentious cultural issues — a record that includes bringing her children to drag shows and operating a café where customers can receive free Plan B.

Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed&#8217;s campaign is facing renewed scrutiny after an Egyptian-American activist sentenced to life in prison in Egypt for alleged support of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2015 has emerged as a financial backer of his Senate bid.
Mohamed Soltan, 38, the president of the American Committee for Middle East Rights (ACMER), has personally donated to El-Sayed’s campaign. The organization he leads has also contributed to Fighting for Michigan PAC, the super PAC supporting El-Sayed.
Federal Election Commission filings show ACMER gave Fighting for Michigan PAC $25,000 on June 12. Soltan also made two contributions to El-Sayed’s campaign on April 15, with his individual giving reaching the federal contribution limit, according to campaign-finance records reviewed by the <a href="https://www.themidwesterner.news/2026/08/egyptian-sentenced-to-life-for-funding-muslim-brotherhood-giving-money-to-abdul-el-sayeds-u-s-senate-campaign/">Midwesterner</a>. 
The contributions add another Islamist-linked figure to the network of donors and supporters surrounding El-Sayed, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abdul-el-sayed-secures-far-lefts-biggest-victory-yet-over-dem-establishment">who won the Democratic nomination</a> for Michigan’s open Senate seat earlier this month and is seeking to become the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.
Soltan was sentenced to life in prison by a Cairo court in April 2015 in a case involving alleged support for the Muslim Brotherhood following the military&#8217;s ouster of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. The ruling came after Soltan had spent nearly two years imprisoned in Egypt and conducted a more than yearlong hunger strike. 
After the Obama administration pressed Egypt for his release, Soltan was freed in May 2015 and returned to the United States. He relinquished his Egyptian citizenship as part of the process that allowed him to leave the country. Soltan is now president of ACMER, a Washington-based nonprofit that describes itself as advocating for human rights and U.S. policy in the Middle East. 
ACMER’s $25,000 contribution went to Fighting for Michigan PAC, which has emerged as a major vehicle for supporting El-Sayed’s political career. Other ACMER officials have also contributed to El-Sayed’s campaign apparatus. ACMER Treasurer Muna Jondy gave $15,000 to Fighting for Michigan PAC on June 7 and $7,000 directly to Abdul for U.S. Senate on June 24, while ACMER Executive Director Kristina Blyad gave $1,000 directly to the campaign. Blyad also serves as treasurer of MERIT PAC, which gave El-Sayed $1,500 on June 3.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abdul-el-sayeds-mother-worked-for-terror-group-that-funded-bin-laden-and-taliban?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Drew+Berkemeyer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Abdul+El-Sayed%E2%80%99s+Mother+Worked+For+Terror+Group+That+Funded+Bin+Laden+And+Taliban">reported</a>, El-Sayed’s mother, Fatten Fathy Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, or IARA, from 1999 through at least 2004. The Treasury Department designated IARA as a global terrorist organization in 2004, accusing its international offices of providing financial support to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist organizations.
Elkomy was not charged in the subsequent federal prosecution of IARA, and the records do not establish that she knowingly supported terrorism. She defended her work for the organization at the time, saying she was helping orphans and children who had lost parents.
El-Sayed’s father-in-law, Tayeb Jukaku, meanwhile, has served on the founding committee of the Islamic Society of North America since at least 2007 and previously served as president of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, according to the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/abdul-el-sayeds-father-in-law-a-top-donor-to-an-el-sayed-super-pac-is-among-top-leaders-of-muslim-brotherhood-organization-linked-to-terror-funding/">Washington Free Beacon</a>.
Both ISNA and CAIR were named as unindicted co-conspirators in the federal Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing case. A federal judge later ruled that prosecutors had presented “ample evidence” connecting the organizations to Hamas. Jukaku has also become one of the largest financial backers of Fighting for Michigan PAC, contributing at least $200,000 to the super PAC.
The Muslim Brotherhood itself celebrated El-Sayed’s recent Democratic primary victory. The Brotherhood’s official website published an <a href="https://www.ikhwanonline.com/article/275565">article</a> describing El-Sayed as having “conquered the Zionists” and praised his opposition to U.S. military aid to Israel.
Taken together, the connections have continued to raise questions about the political and financial network surrounding El-Sayed as he prepares for the general election; the latest campaign-finance records add another figure with a documented history involving Islamic extremism to the growing list of people and organizations backing his Senate bid.

In an astonishing prime-time moment, Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed left viewers stunned Monday night after attempting to equate routine, health-promoting male circumcision with irreversible gender surgeries for minors.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,&#8221; the leftist candidate found himself backed into a corner when host Watters grilled him on whether he supported sex-change operations for kids.
Rather than giving a straight answer, El-Sayed launched into a libertarian-sounding defense of medical freedom, insisting that “the government shouldn&#8217;t tell you what kind of health care you should have.” But when Watters cut through the political jargon and asked El-Sayed point-blank if it&#8217;s okay for a parent to &#8220;slash his kid&#8217;s ding-a-ling off,&#8221; El-Sayed took a bizarre personal turn, asking the prime-time host if he was circumcised.
When Watters fired back that &#8220;circumcision is different than castration,&#8221; El-Sayed doubled down on the shocking comparison, snapping, “I&#8217;m just saying that, yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid&#8217;s ding-a-ling. So if you really want to bring that up, you can. I just think you guys are really selective about how you want to talk about these things.”
Watters fired back, “That&#8217;s wacky. Abdul, Michigan&#8217;s not going for that. That is sick stuff.”
El-Sayed’s jaw-dropping attempt to blur the lines between a simple, widely accepted preventive procedure and radical gender surgery completely ignores decades of mainstream medical science. Male circumcision is a routine health measure backed by overwhelming evidence from major medical authorities like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
&#8220;After comparing himself to Jesus, El-Sayed compares castrating a child to circumcision. 2 for 2 on comparisons that make him look like an absolute insane person,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/abigailmarone/status/2092101178477756739?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2092101178477756739%7Ctwgr%5Ea6d5d3c4e2021d26eff7245f850b32a2577227de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1164593action%3Dedit">said</a> former White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.
El-Sayed has advocated for life-altering gender procedures on children and for boys to compete in girls&#8217; sports.
&#8220;Let the kids play. Trans rights are human rights,&#8221; he said in one unearthed clip.

Removing the foreskin eliminates a concentration of vulnerable target cells and creates a thicker keratinized surface that resists viral penetration.
Circumcision cuts the acquisition of high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) by 30% to 35% — drastically lowering the risk of penile cancer in men and cervical cancer in their female partners. Infant male circumcision reduces the risk of urinary tract infections during a baby&#8217;s first year by 80% to 90%. The procedure permanently eliminates painful anatomical issues like phimosis and balanitis.
Comparing a proven medical safeguard that protects men and their partners from life-threatening diseases to the surgical removal of healthy reproductive organs shows just how insane leftist candidates can be.

Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed kept a book on his shelf written by an Islamic scholar linked to the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist attack. 
The book, called “Dream Interpretation According to the Qur&#8217;an,” was written by Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, an Islamic scholar listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the first bombing attack on New York’s World Trade Center. The book was just one of several tied to radical Islam seen on El-Sayed’s shelf in resurfaced documentary footage.
El-Sayed&#8217;s campaign said in a statement the bookshelf was not his, but that he &#8220;reads widely.&#8221;
&#8220;This was not Abdul’s bookshelf. Abdul is a doctor and Rhodes Scholar who reads widely, including authors whose views he may disagree with. A book appearing in the background of documentary footage is not an endorsement of its content nor a reflection of his beliefs,&#8221; his campaign said in a statement. 
In the footage, El-Sayed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-abdul-el-sayed-tells-film-crew-to-hide-his-qurans-from-shot">asked</a> the film crew to avoid filming the bookshelf. He told them, “You’re going to want to not get these things in the shot … we’re trying to keep the shot secular.”
The details on El-Sayed’s book collection were <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/abdul-el-sayeds-secret-bookshelf-features-works-from-world-trade-center-bombing-unindicted-co-conspirator-and-radical-islamic-scholars/">flagged</a> by the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday as the Michigan Senate candidate continues to face questions about his ties to radical Islam. A new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abdul-el-sayeds-mother-worked-for-terror-group-that-funded-bin-laden-and-taliban?author=Drew+Berkemeyer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Abdul+El-Sayed%E2%80%99s+Mother+Worked+For+Terror+Group+That+Funded+Bin+Laden+And+Taliban">report</a> Tuesday showed that El-Sayed’s mother worked for an American-based Islamic charity accused of financing Osama bin Laden.
Throughout his public work and advocacy, Philips <a href="https://d1.islamhouse.com/data/en/ih_books/single/en_Contemporary_Issues.pdf">defended</a> Muhammad’s marriage to a young child, <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canadians-with-alleged-terrorist-links-1.2839246#Dr.%20Abu%20Ameenah%20Bilal%20Philips">appeared</a> to justify suicide bombings as a &#8220;military action,” and has been banned from multiple countries. 
Other books on El-Sayed’s shelf included “Reflections on the Quran” by Irfan Ahmad Khan and “A Thematic Commentary on the Qur&#8217;an” by Sheikh Mohammed al-Ghazali. Khan was “<a href="https://www.islamicity.org/14713/loss-of-eminent-scholar-and-tireless-advocate-of-the-quran-dr-irfan-ahmed-khan/">active</a>” in the movement pushing for India to be governed by Sharia law before he moved to the United States, while Mohammed al-Ghazali was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. 
In the 1990s, Mohammed al-Ghazali <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1993/07/22/killing-apostates-condoned/68d0d42a-958f-4f42-8ad2-666a1629e2a0/">testified</a> in support of 13 Egyptian terrorists who gunned down a man who did not support Sharia law. During the trial, Mohammed al-Ghazali said that &#8220;the refusal of implementation of Sharia is apostasy,&#8221; adding that the death penalty was an acceptable punishment for apostasy under Islamic law. 
El-Sayed has also faced questions about previous comments he made to The New York Times about committing to following Sharia law. 
“Ultimately, the question is, when I die and I stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don’t want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Shariah-compliant way,” he said in 2009. “Not because of fear but because of obligation.”

Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) admitted she was &#8220;not that informed on national security&#8221; during a debate against Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) on Tuesday, one week before the two face off in a Republican runoff for the Senate seat previously held by her late brother, Lindsey Graham.
Graham, who was appointed to fill her brother&#8217;s seat after his death last month, made the admission when asked whether Taiwan and the South China Sea are national security issues for the United States.
“I’m just going to be honest here, I’m not that informed on national security,” she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYbTRsRnT6U">said</a>.
Former South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley criticized the remark.
“Lindsey Graham was well informed on the United States’ national security. Graham admits she’s not,&#8221; Haley said. &#8220;This is not something you inherit. And it’s critical in the U.S. Senate.”
Graham has previously outlined the differences between herself and her brother on foreign policy, saying in a July interview <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lindsey-grahams-sister-breaks-from-one-of-his-defining-priorities">that</a> she preferred to focus on issues that matter to “the average person.”
Norman, who is facing Graham in the August 25 runoff, told The Daily Wire that China poses a threat to the United States and argued that South Carolina voters should expect their next senator to understand the issue.
“Whether it’s spy balloons flying overhead or buying up land near South Carolina military bases, China continues to prove that it is a threat to the United States. South Carolinians deserve to know whether their next Senator has the know-how to lead on this issue.”
Graham also appeared to badly overstate South Carolina&#8217;s population during the debate while discussing affordability.
“There’s fifty million people in South Carolina, half of them live paycheck to paycheck,&#8221; Graham said.
South Carolina has roughly 5.5 million residents.
President Donald Trump is expected to campaign for Graham on Friday at a rally in Myrtle Beach ahead of the runoff.
Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIsQ4MT4F2k">told</a> reporters he likes everyone in the race, but endorsed Graham in honor of her brother.
“Just so you understand, I like the other people in the race. Also, they’re all Trumpers, but I endorsed her,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I think she’s great. It’s really in honor of her brother.”
“She’s really a very smart woman,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;You know, Lindsey loved his sister more than anything else he would tell me about his sister. That she’s just outstanding. He actually said she is better than him. That was hard for Lindsey to say.”
Prediction market Kalshi has Graham’s odds of winning at <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxscrsens/south-carolina-special-republican-primary/kxscrsens-26">77%,</a> down from around 90% before the debate.
The winner of the Republican runoff will face Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, in the general election.

Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), scored a major upset Tuesday night by defeating former Trump impeachment witness Alex Vindman for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
Nixon, a leftist firebrand from Jacksonville, will face Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) in November to determine who will serve the final two years of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s Senate term.
The upset is a major victory for the Democratic Party’s Left-wing — and potentially a major boost for Republicans in a state President Donald Trump won by 13 points in 2024.
Vindman vastly outraised Nixon during the primary, bringing in roughly $16.3 million compared to Nixon’s $975,000. Nixon instead relied heavily on grassroots organizing, unions and left-wing activists.
Nixon joined the DSA in June and is also a member of the Working Families Party and the Service Employees International Union. She received <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6036787-nixon-vindman-peltola-primaries/">endorsements</a> from far-Left lawmakers including Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Her victory marks the first time a self-avowed democratic socialist has won a Democratic Senate or gubernatorial primary this cycle. The socialist upset comes two weeks after Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed squeaked out a narrow victory over the establishment-backed candidate in his own Democratic primary. While El-Sayed <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/battle-for-future-of-democratic-party-rages-in-key-senate-primary-c98e5e49?mod=article_inline">has said</a> he is “not technically or practically DSA” — he ran as a leftist, aligned with the party’s democratic socialist wing, and received campaign support from prominent socialists including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
President Donald Trump also weighed in on the upset Tuesday night, celebrating Nixon’s victory while taking a swipe at her defeated opponent, former White House national security official Alexander Vindman. “SleazeBag Vindman loses tonight to a Radical Left Lunatic. How cool is that???” Trump wrote on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117119603749653762">Truth Social</a>.
Vindman became a prominent figure during Trump’s first impeachment after testifying before Congress about a 2019 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Vindman, who was serving as a National Security Council aide at the time, testified that Trump had pressured Zelensky to look into his political rivals, including the Biden family.
Trump was ultimately acquitted by the Senate, and he fired Vindman from the National Security Council in February 2020. Vindman then sued, alleging that the firing was retaliatory and an intimidation tactic.
Election analysts already viewed Florida as a difficult state for Democrats, with Kyle Kondik of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics saying Sabato’s Crystal Ball <a href="https://x.com/kkondik/status/2089865578282369064">would move</a> the Senate race from “likely Republican” to “safe Republican&#8221; after Nixon&#8217;s upset victory.
Moody, who was appointed to the Senate last year after Rubio became secretary of state, easily won the Republican primary and will now face Nixon in November.

Texas Democratic Senate Candidate James Talarico has crossed the aisle for a campaign hire, bringing on a former aide to outgoing Republican Sen. John Cornyn ahead of his November showdown with Republican Ken Paxton.  
Jacob Smith, who will serve as deputy policy director for Talarico&#8217;s campaign, is no stranger to campaigns against Paxton. Smith previously worked for Cornyn, who lost the Republican Senate primary to Paxton earlier this year. If Talarico wins in November, Smith could find himself working in the same Senate office — just under a different boss and political affiliation.
&#8220;I’ve worked for Republicans like Senator Cornyn my entire career, but this year I’m proud to be joining James Talarico’s campaign,&#8221; Smith said in a statement. &#8220;Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little.&#8221;
&#8220;Ken Paxton is the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power,&#8221; Smith <a href="https://www.notus.org/campaigns/james-talarico-cornyn-staffer-texas-senate">added</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;m encouraging all my fellow Republicans who know Ken Paxton is unfit to serve in the Senate to finally hold him accountable at the ballot box.&#8221;
Smith worked for Cornyn for five years, serving as a deputy legislative director and policy adviser.
Talarico’s new hire could signal an effort to broaden his appeal beyond the Democratic base as the midterm elections approach. Despite bringing a longtime Republican Senate aide onto his campaign, Talarico’s political stance differs vastly from those of both Smith&#8217;s former boss and Paxton.
 Talarico has slammed Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s border enforcement policy. 
“Regardless of your political affiliation, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum,” he said. “Greg Abbott is hunting people for his own political gain. And that’s the most cynical thing that I’ve seen in my time in Texas politics.” 
Talarico has also taken leftist positions on transgender issues. He has opposed restrictions on transgender participation in sports and drew national attention after saying that “God is nonbinary.” 
After facing backlash from Republicans over the comment, Talarico responded by arguing that America is focused “on the wrong 1%.”
“Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren’t defunding our schools,” he said. “It’s the billionaires and their puppet politicians. And so we need not only the media, but all of us, to focus on the real problem at hand.”
Talarico has also proposed repealing tax breaks in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and redistributing the money to people who need a “cost-of-living tax cut.” His plan to fix affordability includes raising the minimum wage and canceling medical debt. 
Paxton, meanwhile, has proposed tax deductions for health care and housing, including a $25,000 deduction for out-of-pocket medical expenses, a $50,000 deduction for first-time homebuyers, and a $50,000 tax break on down payments for people moving homes.
