AI PACs spent millions trying to shape Congress — here’s how they fared

Two AI-focused PACs, American Mission and Building the Future, spent $4.8 million on Republican candidates, including Darline Graham in South Carolina, who lost. Their Democratic counterpart, Think Big, had better luck backing Rep. Jared Moskowitz in Florida. Groups advocating for stronger AI safeguards, such as Public First, also saw mixed results, with some supporting Democratic candidates and others opposing Republican candidates. Guardrails Alliance spent $1 million opposing Rep. Jimmy Gomez and Aaron Flint, but also supported Angela Gonzales-Torres, who defeated Gomez.
