Democrats target four states won by Trump by double digits

Senate midterm elections Democratic Party strategy Senate Majority PAC Kansas Senate race Republican spending

Democrats are expanding their Senate campaign strategy to include states that Donald Trump won by double digits in 2024. The party is specifically targeting Kansas, Texas, Alaska, and Iowa.

In a significant shift in strategy, the Senate Majority PAC has invested $5 million in Kansas, a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate in nearly a century. This move comes as Democratic officials debate how to allocate limited funds amidst being outspent by the GOP.

While leadership has previously focused on core battleground seats in states like North Carolina and Georgia, internal discussions suggest an increasing willingness to gamble in deeper red territory due to an anti-Trump backlash among voters.
