Overview
- Leading the Future, backed by Greg Brockman, Joe Lonsdale and Andreessen Horowitz, is committing roughly $5 million to support Donalds and pro‑innovation candidates.
- The super PAC plans a mix of advertising and a longer-term educational push on AI’s economic benefits, with TV airtime not yet booked but reservations expected soon.
- The move lands as Gov. Ron DeSantis’ AI regulatory package has stalled without House hearings halfway through the 2026 legislative session.
- David Sacks and outside adviser Taylor Budowich have contacted Florida officials to oppose the DeSantis-backed plan, according to NBC News reporting citing a source familiar.
- Donalds, endorsed by President Trump and viewed as the GOP front-runner, recently said data centers must avoid raising power costs but argued Floridians are safer when data is warehoused in-state.
