A political action committee seeking to make Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy the next House speaker has reserved $125 million in campaign ads in 46 congressional districts to help the GOP take control of the chamber in November elections.
The Congressional Leadership Fund’s ad buys compare with $102 million previously announced by a similar group backing current Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Democrats currently control the House by a margin of just five seats.
