CNBC's August 2024 reporting, based on AdImpact data, found America PAC had spent more than $800,000 since early July 2024 on digital ads targeting battleground-state voters, many urging them to register at the PAC's website, and other outlets echo that figure.

What was said
… This includes Google, Facebook, X, the Trade Desks, and so on. Now, this isn't the first time America PAC spent, um, this much money. I mean, they spent over $800,000 using a similar voter, uh, targeting websites. These tactics in 2024 to collect voter information, and basically from the people who they thought, you know, were accessing voter registration resources. Don't trust us at all.

Supports. CNBC reported that America PAC spent more than $800,000 since early July 2024 on digital ads targeting voters in key battleground states, many encouraging people to register to vote at the PAC's website, citing AdImpact.[3]
Supports. Salon, citing CNBC and FEC-based reporting, says around $800,000 went into digital marketing ads targeted at battleground-state voters, with many encouraging visits to the PAC's 'register to vote' website.[2]
Context. Later coverage (New Republic and Yahoo, 2026) and a 2024 digest of the CNBC piece repeat the $800,000 figure for 2024 ads, but they largely trace back to the same CNBC reporting rather than providing an independent record.[4][5][6]
Context. The $800,000 is a subset of America PAC's much larger 2024 spending, which the FEC-based reporting puts at $261 million for the cycle, so the figure refers to digital voter-targeting ads rather than total spending.[1][7]
