Republicans fear two key Senate races are slipping from their grasp
- Some Republicans are growing worried that Senate races in North Carolina and Georgia are slipping from their grasp. Both Mike Collins, running against incumbent Jon Ossoff, and Michael Whatley, opposing former Governor Roy Cooper, trail in polls.
- North Carolina's race is particularly concerning for a party that President Donald Trump won three times. One GOP super PAC, Old North Action, trimmed its ad reservations in North Carolina by about a third last week, signaling waning confidence.
- Republican senators are debating funding priorities. Senator Cornyn focused his fundraiser on other states 'because I think the money will go a lot further in those places,' while Senator Thom Tillis said, 'You spend the money where we get Republicans elected.'
- NRSC Chairman Tim Scott pushed back on Thursday against suggestions the committee was deprioritizing these races. Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated, 'We are erecting a big wall around all of our candidates.'
- With 42 days remaining, Republicans face a critical window to secure their majority. The party has already invested $7.9 million in North Carolina and $3.6 million in Georgia through August, though officials must decide soon whether to increase spending or redeploy resources.
