According to reports, Meta formed a cross-party political influence team ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections. The move is the latest move by the company to make full efforts in the field of US politics and policy lobbying. Meta has previously launched a $65 million political funding program for the midterm elections, the company's largest political investment ever to lobby across parties by setting up a dedicated super political action committee. The core goal of this team and funding is to address the growing threat of AI regulation from state governments and the federal level. Meta is trying to fund bipartisan candidates who are friendly to the AI industry and support technological innovation to prevent states from introducing fragmented and stringent AI restrictive regulations.
