A super PAC dedicated to Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates surged its financial support for congressional candidates across several battleground states in a late-stage push to prevent the loss of the GOP House majority. The No Going Back PAC spent $34.87 million in a new wave of expenditures across 39 contests, targeting seats such as Texas’s 35th District, which received about $3M, and Florida’s 14th and 22nd districts. This latest spending follows prior infusions of $37M and $17.5M by the group and its affiliates during the final weeks of the campaign.
The funding increase coincides with warnings from Republican operatives that incumbents in newly competitive districts are failing to reach the 50% mark in internal polling. To counter this, Trump’s operation has focused heavily on specific races, including Arizona’s 1st District, where support for recruit Jay Feely has reached a total of $22M. However, the party has triaged other regions, which include effectively abandoning North Carolina’s 11th District, an area Trump won by nearly 10 percentage points that Republican strategists now describe as likely Democratic.

Story, if it plays out
48%−0.2%
No Going Back PAC’s $34.87 million late defense slows Democratic gains but does not overcome the national environment reflected in Cook Political Report shifts and Democrats’ polling lead. Hakeem Jeffries becomes the presumptive Speaker as Republicans lose enough Biden-won and suburban districts to surrender the majority.
32%+0.3%
The late $34.87 million intervention lands in enough competitive districts to preserve a very small Republican majority. Mike Johnson, or another Republican acceptable to the conference, keeps the gavel after the NRCC outperforms public polling in key districts.
12%−0.4%
The late ad blitz helps make several GOP-held seats too close to call, delaying a clear House majority. California mail ballots, Pennsylvania provisional ballots, and possible recounts keep both parties claiming paths to 218.
8%−0.2%
The scale of Republican outside spending becomes a signal of defensive weakness rather than an effective firewall. Democrats overperform in multiple regions, converting polling leads into a larger House majority than expected.
