Trump, Republicans launch ad blitz for midterms as races favor Democrats
Republicans have spent $233.4 million on national committees and $163 million from Trump-aligned groups as they defend vulnerable seats and narrow leads.
- Republican-Aligned groups have spent more than $163 million on advertising since Sept. 1, with nearly 40% directed toward states won by Trump by 10 percentage points or more in 2024.
- Mounting pressure from endangered candidates forced Republicans to defend typically secure strongholds like Texas, Iowa, Ohio, and Alaska, states won by President Donald Trump in 2024.
- In Texas, Republicans spent nearly $107 million to bolster Attorney General Ken Paxton against Democratic state Rep. James Talarico; Ohio spending to defend Sen. Jon Husted exceeded $152 million.
- Vice President JD Vance recently traveled to Kansas to campaign for Sen. Roger Marshall, while the White House invests time in states previously considered non-competitive and Trump hits the road.
- Despite record spending, Republicans remain concerned about a 'glum' electorate angry over high gas prices and the war in Iran, while Ohio Republican strategist Terry Casey said the outcome depends on whether Democrats can turn out voters.
