Congress battle drifts deeper into red territory
The battle for Congress is shifting deeper into red territory as both parties deem some races essentially over.
As the battle for Congress veers deeper into Republican territory, both political parties are signaling their intentions to solidify their respective leads. The Democratic Senate Majority PAC is pulling back on advertisements in Georgia and North Carolina, acknowledging the growing favorability of Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Roy Cooper.
Meanwhile, the Republican Senate Leadership Fund is increasing its support for Sen. Pete Ricketts in Nebraska, while also bolstering efforts in Kansas and South Carolina. The Congressional Leadership Fund, aligned with House GOP leaders, is reallocating resources from competitive districts represented by moderate Republicans, such as Tom Kean of New Jersey and Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, towards Republican incumbents in districts that Trump secured decisively in the 2024 election.
Despite these shifts, Republicans still possess a few advantageous situations. Democrats have scaled down ad spending in a red district in Arizona, and Republicans continue investing heavily to flip outgoing Rep. Jared Golden's seat in Maine.
