Meta Withdraws $25 Million from Its Midterms Push

Meta is a big technology company. It helps people connect online. Last year, Meta made a special plan. This plan was about spending money to help politicians. These politicians are friendly to AI technology. AI is like smart computer programs that do many things. Meta uses AI a lot, so they want politicians who support it.

Meta wanted these politicians to win elections. This helps Meta because they want laws that are good for AI. The company first planned to spend $65 million. This money was for something called a 'midterms push.' Midterms are important elections that happen in the middle of a president's term. They decide many state leaders.

Now, Meta is changing its plan. It takes back $25 million from this budget. So, Meta will spend less money than it first said. The company still wants to help politicians who are good for AI, but with a smaller budget. This decision is important for how big companies work with politics and new technology.
