GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton says Trump's midterm convention hurt him in leaked audio
Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton can be heard in a leaked audio recording observing that President Trump's GOP midterms convention was politically harmful for the GOP. CBS News' Zak Hudak has more.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and GOP campaign chair Tim Scott share a common interest: their excitement over President Donald Trump's campaign trail appearances. Schumer told Semafor that Trump's visits help Democrats, while Scott described Trump as a crucial asset on the campaign trail for Republicans. Both parties are aggressively campaigning ahead of the midterms, with Democrats rejecting several GOP bills and Republicans facing the challenge of defending their majority.
Schumer believes the election is a 50-50 coin flip, with Democrats needing to raise enough money to counter the Republicans' significant spending advantage. On the other hand, Scott is confident that Republicans will retain their majority, pointing to improving enthusiasm, a high number of competitive races, and a substantial spending edge.
