Billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer's political action committee has spent $65 million on the midterm elections across state and congressional races this year, according to spokesman Bobby Whithorne.

 

But will it be enough?

 

The former hedge fund manager vowed to make climate change a wedge issue earlier this year and committed to funneling at least $50 million of his own money into the midterms.

 

 

He’s focused on Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire and Iowa, which all are hosting Senate races seen as critical to Democrats’ fight to keep their majority.

 

Steyer’s political action group, NextGen Climate, pledged to bring “money ball” to politics and set up a team of strategists from every “winning” Democratic presidential campaign over the last 30 years.
