RFK Jr.'s MAHA PAC raised almost nothing ahead of midterms despite $100M pledge

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has only collected a drop in the bucket for the PAC he promised would bring in more congressional Republicans supporting a "Make America Healthy Again" agenda. A Politico report on Thursday found that the PAC and its only other aligned Super PAC have $412,000 left in cash after lackluster fundraising. Todd Lyons, RFK Jr.'s appointee to run the PAC, promised last month to bring in $100 million for Republicans. He didn't respond to Politico's request for comment. President Trump had been counting on MAHA Republicans to boost the GOP majority after the midterms. A few dozen donations came in from 10 entities, Politico found, with half of them tied to the drug industry and one a kratom and kava beverage maker. The MAHA PAC reported three donations in 2026, albeit large ones for about $50,000. Devin Burghart, president of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, told Politico that the shallow pockets of the MAHA PAC and poor fundraising make it “hard to actually refer to MAHA as a movement."
