According to reports, Meta plans to assemble a bipartisan political influence team ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections. This move is the latest in the company's comprehensive expansion in the field of US political and policy lobbying. Meta has already launched a $65 million midterm election political funding program, its largest political investment to date, planning to advance bipartisan lobbying efforts through the establishment of dedicated Super PACs. The core focus of this newly formed team and accompanying funding is to address the increasing pressure from state and federal governments on AI regulation. Meta hopes to provide financial support to bipartisan candidates who are friendly to the AI industry and support technological innovation, thereby preventing fragmented and overly strict AI-restrictive regulations from various states.
