As of Oct. 26, Leading the Future had spent only $7.4 million on general-election races despite having $34 million in cash on hand across its network, according to The Intercept’s analysis of FEC data. Leading the Future, funded largely by Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen, who each gave $25 million, and Greg Brockman and his wife, Anna, who gave $25 million, wants light regulation and a single national AI standard and spends through Think Big for Democrats and American Mission for Republicans; Public First pushes for stronger AI safeguards through Jobs and Democracy for Democrats and Defending Our Values for Republicans.
