The President of the United States, Donald Trump, communicated this Tuesday that he plans to invest at least 400 million dollars (356 million euros) by the midterm elections scheduled for next November 3.
"I am pleased to announce that, in relation to the most important midterm elections in the history of our country, I have spent, or will spend, more than 400 million dollars before election day," he noted on his social media.
The leader, who has linked this expenditure to his "faith in the Republican Party and in all (its) policies and principles," specified that "more than 300 million dollars (267 million euros) have already been spent on advertising, direct and indirect contact with voters, rallies, venues for rallies, televised rallies, programs to encourage voter participation, electoral integrity, and much more."
"It is a great honor for me to do this on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to pull our country back from the brink of the abyss," the American president added.
These words come two weeks before the election and after, at the beginning of October, Trump himself announced that he would stop using federal funds for electoral advertising, shifting the funding of these ads to the super political action committees, known as 'super PACs', which operate with fewer limits on the amounts contributed and the obligation to disclose the identity of donors.
