Political committees have already pulled in $4.7 billion for November, with ultra-wealthy donors driving the pace. That figure, this early in the cycle, is the direct operating condition Citizens United created: no ceiling, no transparency requirement, concentrated leverage for the few. The strategic read is simple — whoever controls the House majority controls subpoena power, oversight, and the last institutional check on executive overreach. Billionaires on both sides understand that. The rest of the electorate is catching up.
