🇺🇸 Senate @MajorityPAC spent $215 million on its digital advertising program this cycle, a 60% increase from 2024, focusing on streaming services, smart TVs, and YouTube to reach younger voters.
Strategists said the effort helped target voters between 18 and 29, a group that shifted 34 points toward Democrats, while Republicans still outspent Democrats by about $250 million on ads overall in Senate races.
The super PAC also worked with more than 800 influencers, generating 750 million views by the end of the cycle.
Republicans got their butts whipped in the mid-terms, but the GOP's Consultancy Cabal still raked in millions of in fees. Meanwhile, the Democrats spent less and more wisely.
