Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) predicted that the 2026 elections will be the most expensive midterm elections on record.

Scott, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told donors at a Palm Beach, Florida, retreat that the Republican Party should prepare for the most expensive race in its history, an attendee told Politico. Funds will be focused on six states, with three offensive targets — Georgia, Michigan, and New Hampshire, and three defensive targets — Maine, North Carolina, and Ohio.
