根据一家媒体追踪公司的数据，2026年中期选举的广告支出在周三正式超过了100亿美元。
The 2026 midterms ad bill officially topped $10 billion on Wednesday.
据预测，广告支出还将继续增加，这可能使此次选举成为美国至少自2018年以来最昂贵的选举。
Advertisers are slated to exceed that mark, putting the campaign in contention to become the most expensive election in the U.S. since at least 2018, according to data compiled by a media tracking firm.
此次选举的花费预计将超过2024年总统选举周期的支出，并且已经超过了美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）上个赛季的广告支出总额。
The campaign is set to be more expensive than the 2024 presidential election cycle, and has already exceeded the ad total booked by the N.F.L. last season.
