President Trump's super PAC is finally waiting into the mid-term elections to support Republican candidates, NPR's Mar Eliason, has our reports.
Trump's super PAC, MAGA Inc, has been sitting on more than $400 million in cash, and the president
is finally beginning to spend it.
“I think I have a close $1 billion in the super PAC, and I'm allocating probably $4,500”
million, so I'll be spending more than $1 million. Yeah, we're going to spend a lot of money, because we don't want to lose our country. MAGA Inc made a $10 million ad by to support Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who's running for Senate. Overall, Republican super PACs and campaign committees have much more money than their Democratic
counterparts, but in many cases, specific Republican candidates have raised less money than their Democratic opponents. That's true for Paxton, whose campaign cash is trailing the amount raised by his Democratic component, James Talarico.

The Ebola outbreak is still spreading fast across an area larger than France in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but as NPR's Johnson Lambert reports, there are signs that the virus is receding from early hotspots. The city of Mungwalu was one of the first places to report Ebola cases in May.
The mining town in northeastern DRC soon became overwhelmed. But in recent weeks, cases have been on the decline there. Balakonday, a public health specialist with IFRC, credits that in part to engaging the community in the response. When he first came to Mungwalu, people were distrustful.
“But health officials started engaging with key community members, like priests and taxi drivers”
to get the message out that Ebola is serious. Over time, he says those efforts resulted in more people seeking treatment or isolating if they were sick. Elsewhere though, the virus is still out of control. Jonathan Lambert and PR News.
