GOP Leads AI Ad Spending
The Wesleyan Media Project found more than $187 million spent on at least 289 AI-generated or AI-assisted political ads in 2026 through Oct. 29, up from about $50,000 in 2024. Republican candidates and groups accounted for just over 90% of the spending, with many ads using AI for attacks or satire; only 27% of ads counted through mid-October included an AI disclaimer. AI is also increasingly shaping how voters find election information, raising concerns about accuracy, manipulation and declining trust.
