Trump Announces He Will Pay for Government-Funded TV Ads That Praised Him
President Donald Trump announced that he and his political action committee will cover the cost of controversial television ads that had been funded by the U.S. government. The announcement followed significant backlash to these advertisements, which aired in the weeks leading up to November's midterm elections. The ads are expected to influence the outcome of the midterms, as they aim to support Republican candidates who are vying to maintain their majorities in both chambers of Congress. Trump made this statement during a press event at the White House on September 30, 2026.
