Ben Kamisar is a national political reporter for NBC News.

The cavalry is here, and megadonors on both sides of the aisle are donating massive amounts of cash to politicians and outside groups in what's expected to be the most expensive election ever, new filings show. Businessman Timothy Mellon, who has been a major donor to super PACs backing both former President Donald Trump and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., took his giving to a new level in May, giving MAGA Inc.

5 million each to Fairshake, the pro-cryptocurrency super PAC. Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein, the GOP megadonors and scions of the Uline shipping and packing company, gave the pro-Trump MAGA Inc. a combined $10 million. Two regular Democratic megadonors, businessmen James Simons and Fred Eychaner, combined to seed the super PAC that boosts House Democrats with $6.5 million.
