Super PAC With Republican Ties Intervenes in Democratic Primaries

A new super PAC with ties to Republicans is intervening in Democratic primaries, according to a report published Tuesday. The group has provided support in at least one race to a sex therapist running in Texas who has been accused of antisemitism. The super PAC's spending represents an direct effort by outside Republican-aligned interests to shape the field of Democratic candidates.

Such cross-party involvement in primaries is uncommon but not unheard of in recent election cycles. The moves come as both parties prepare for the 2026 midterm elections. The super PAC has not publicly detailed the full scope of its planned spending or additional races it may target.

the group is assisting a candidate who works as a sex therapist. That candidate has drawn accusations of antisemitism during the campaign. The super PAC's support includes financial backing intended to help the candidate advance in the Democratic primary.

Party officials have historically viewed primary elections as contests to be settled by each party's own voters and donors. Republican-linked spending that bolsters a particular Democratic contender could alter the dynamics of those races by shifting resources and attention.

The report did not specify the exact amount spent so far or name other candidates or districts receiving assistance from the group. Further details about the super PAC's funding sources and leadership were not disclosed in the account.
