Top Senate GOP Group Puts Pause on Spending in North Carolina
The super PAC is redirecting seven figures to Kansas as it tries to protect the Senate majority and counter a surprisingly close race, officials said.
- The Senate Leadership Fund is pausing ad spending in North Carolina and launching a seven-figure campaign in Kansas to support Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, seeking to protect the party's 53-seat Senate majority.
- Democrat Adam Hamilton has turned the Kansas race into a genuine fight, forcing National Republicans to divert resources in a state where no Democrat has won a Senate seat in 94 years.
- A September Emerson College Polling survey found Hamilton at 45 percent and Marshall at 43 percent, with nearly half of voters citing the economy as their most important issue.
- Republicans have already spent over $30 million in North Carolina, where GOP candidate Michael Whatley trails Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, though Whatley said he feels "very comfortable" about his campaign finances.
- The super PAC recently boosted spending in Ohio and Iowa, reflecting a broader strategy to secure the Senate majority as Election Day approaches.
