CNN — A ferocious advertising campaign is underway with passage of President Donald Trump’s landmark policy bill hanging in the balance, as political groups and business interests spent at least $35 million just this month to try to sway key members of Congress and their constituents.
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina was facing the pressure from both sides before he announced Sunday that he wouldn’t seek reelection in 2026. Americans for Prosperity, an arm of the conservative megadonor Charles Koch’s political network, spent nearly $2 million this month in key media markets such as Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham.
“Trump’s tax cuts put money back in my pocket, and they’re helping young families save for their first homes,” says a woman featured in one of the ads from AFP. “Congress needs to save our tax cuts and protect prosperity.”
