The US midterms campaign is set to be the most expensive on record - with the total cost projected to reach nearly $12 billion, according to Open Secrets, an independent organisation that tracks campaign finance. Most of the spending is driven by outside political groups - known as Super Political Action Committees (Super Pacs) - pouring large sums of money into some key races ahead of election day today.
The top individual donor is billionaire businessman Elon Musk, who has spent almost half a billion dollars backing Republican candidates, particularly in Texas where many of his companies are based.

Super Pacs can accept unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, labour unions, and other political committees. They can't give that money directly to candidates but they can spend it supporting them indirectly.

Election officials and advocacy organizations intensified get-out-the-vote efforts in the final days before today's midterms. With control of Congress and numerous state offices at stake, turnout among older voters and other key groups became a focal point for both parties. The appeal from an experienced citizen at the ballot box underscored the view that this election cycle represented a critical juncture for policy direction on issues ranging from healthcare to economic security. Some states reported record early voting numbers while others faced legal challenges over new identification rules and ballot deadlines. These disputes highlighted ongoing tensions between expanding participation and maintaining election integrity, with both sides claiming their approach best serves democratic principles.
