In the final weeks before the midterms, Senate Republicans are reallocating funds to defend a Kansas Senate seat, pulling back from North Carolina. The Senate Leadership Fund has reserved $9.8 million for Kansas, where incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall faces a tight race against Democrat Adam Hamilton. The contest is heated, with Marshall’s campaign accusing Hamilton of past misconduct, which Hamilton denies. Meanwhile, in North Carolina, former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper leads against GOP nominee Michael Whatley, prompting Republicans to pause ad spending there. This shift highlights the GOP’s challenge in maintaining control of the Senate amid an unfavorable political climate.
