Senate GOP campaign chief says ‘cash is king’ as Trump team promises millions to keep majority
MAGA Inc. and affiliated groups have already poured hundreds of millions into Senate races, giving Republicans a cash advantage, officials said.
The Senate Republican Tim Scott said Wednesday that President Donald Trump's team assured senators that "money will not be our problem" heading into the election, as MAGA Inc. promises funding for battleground races.
Republicans face increasing risks as voters react to high gas and grocery prices linked to the Iran war, turning once-safe Republican-held strongholds into competitive battlegrounds.
Scott acknowledged that the race in Kansas, where Adam Hamilton challenges GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, is tighter than expected; Republican Mike Collins faces Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in Georgia.
"Cash is king," Scott told reporters, noting that President Trump and his agenda are on the ballot. Knowing the campaign will invest fully in these races is "incredibly helpful," he said.
Despite sluggish voter enthusiasm and contested seats, Scott remains confident Republicans can maintain their Senate majority, though he acknowledged Republicans have "more work to do" to flip Georgia.
