Democrats target Republican-held House and Senate seats

Democratic candidates are expanding their campaign efforts into traditionally Republican districts for upcoming elections. In House races, candidates are focusing on economic concerns, such as rising costs and trade issues affecting farmers, to appeal to voters in GOP-heavy areas across states like Kentucky and Florida.

In Senate contests, polling suggests Democrats may be competitive in several states previously won by Donald Trump by large margins. Key battlegrounds include Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina. In Kansas, Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton, a former Republican and megachurch founder, is running a competitive campaign against incumbent Republican Senator Roger Marshall.
