मुख्य बातें

  • The 2026 US midterm elections are on track to become the most expensive in American history, with political advertising spending projected to reach $11.6 billion.
  • Analysis of Federal Election Commission data shows the 50 largest donors and groups have given a combined $2.77 billion so far: $1.67 billion from Republican-aligned donors and $832 million from Democratic-aligned ones, with the rest from bipartisan and special-interest groups.
  • Elon Musk leads individual donors with about $445 million, mostly backing Republican groups, while George Soros has given more than $100 million to Democratic causes.
  • 2026 کے امریکی مڈٹرم انتخابات امریکی تاریخ کے مہنگے ترین انتخابات بننے کی راہ پر ہیں، جن میں سیاسی اشتہارات پر خرچ 11.6 ارب ڈالر تک پہنچنے کا اندازہ ہے۔ فیڈرل الیکشن کمیشن کے اعداد و شمار کے تجزیے سے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ 50 سب سے بڑے عطیہ دہندگان اور گروپوں نے اب تک مجموعی طور پر 2.77 ارب ڈالر دیے ہیں: ریپبلکن حامی عطیہ دہندگان سے 1.67 ارب ڈالر اور ڈیموکریٹ حامیوں سے 832 ملین ڈالر، باقی دو طرفہ اور خصوصی مفادات کے گروپوں سے۔ انفرادی عطیہ دہندگان میں ایلون مسک تقریباً 445 ملین ڈالر کے ساتھ سرفہرست ہیں، جو زیادہ تر ریپبلکن گروپوں کی حمایت میں ہیں، جبکہ جارج سوروس نے ڈیموکریٹک مقاصد کے لیے 100 ملین ڈالر سے زیادہ دیے ہیں۔ زیادہ تر رقم سپر پی اے سی کے ذریعے بہتی ہے، اور کم از کم 1 ارب ڈالر کی ناقابل سراغ ڈارک منی بھی شامل ہے جو ان غیر منافع بخش تنظیموں سے آتی ہے جنہیں اپنے عطیہ دہندگان کے نام ظاہر نہیں کرنے پڑتے۔
  • 2026 के अमेरिकी मिडटर्म चुनाव अमेरिकी इतिहास के सबसे महंगे चुनाव बनने की राह पर हैं, जिनमें राजनीतिक विज्ञापनों पर खर्च 11.6 अरब डॉलर तक पहुंचने का अनुमान है। संघीय चुनाव आयोग के आंकड़ों के विश्लेषण से पता चलता है कि 50 सबसे बड़े दानदाताओं और समूहों ने अब तक कुल 2.77 अरब डॉलर दिए हैं: रिपब्लिकन समर्थक दानदाताओं से 1.67 अरब डॉलर और डेमोक्रेट समर्थकों से 832 मिलियन डॉलर, बाकी द्विदलीय और विशेष हित समूहों से। व्यक्तिगत दानदाताओं में एलन मस्क लगभग 445 मिलियन डॉलर के साथ सबसे आगे हैं, जो ज्यादातर रिपब्लिकन समूहों का समर्थन करते हैं, जबकि जॉर्ज सोरोस ने डेमोक्रेटिक उद्देश्यों के लिए 100 मिलियन डॉलर से अधिक दिए हैं। अधिकांश पैसा सुपर पीएसी के जरिए बहता है, और कम से कम 1 अरब डॉलर का अपारदर्शी डार्क मनी भी शामिल है जो उन गैर-लाभकारी संगठनों से आता है जिन्हें अपने दानदाताओं के नाम बताने नहीं पड़ते।

The 2026 US midterm elections are on track to become the most expensive in American history, with political advertising spending projected to reach $11.6 billion. Analysis of Federal Election Commission data shows the 50 largest donors and groups have given a combined $2.77 billion so far: $1.67 billion from Republican-aligned donors and $832 million from Democratic-aligned ones, with the rest from bipartisan and special-interest groups. Elon Musk leads individual donors with about $445 million, mostly backing Republican groups, while George Soros has given more than $100 million to Democratic causes. Much of the money flows through super PACs, and at least $1 billion in untraceable dark money from nonprofits that do not have to name their donors is also in play.
