GOP super PAC pauses spending in North Carolina Senate race, shifting money to Kansas
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.
