Darline Graham for the South Carolina U.S. Senate runoff, with NRSC Chair Tim Scott publicly endorsing her and urging other top finishers who didn’t advance—Russell Fry, Mark Sanford and Mark Lynch—to back her as well. The push aims to consolidate remaining rivals’ support quickly to secure a victory, following Graham’s strong primary showing and initial backing from President Trump.

Alaska probes Dan J. Sullivan’s candidacy as ballot-deception concerns loom

Alaska’s Lt. Gov. has opened an investigation into Dan J. Sullivan, a Petersburg retiree challenging Sen. Dan Sullivan in the 2026 U.S. Senate race, over questions about his candidacy filing and possible ballot deception. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has accused the challenger of mimicking campaign materials and coordinating with Democrats, while Dahlström’s office pursues a sworn affidavit to determine any improper contacts. Dan J. Sullivan says he filed correctly and is a legitimate Republican candidate, citing issues like ferry service, affordability, and education; the Peltola campaign says it has no involvement. The outcome could affect whether his name remains on the ballot.)

GOP performs a pivot: Paxton wins Texas primary, senators rally behind him

After Ken Paxton’s decisive Texas primary victory, Senate Republicans rapidly shift from criticizing him to backing his campaign, with the NRSC scrubbing anti-Paxton content and donors urged to unite for a competitive fall race. Some lawmakers remain cautious given Paxton’s indictments and impeachment, but the party is aiming to protect the Texas seat and capitalize on Trump’s endorsement to shore up support.

Moreno mulls NRSC chair bid for 2028

Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno is weighing a bid to lead the Senate GOP’s campaign arm for the 2028 cycle. While he hasn’t announced, multiple GOP lawmakers say he’s discussed the role, and insiders expect he would likely win if he runs, given his fundraising prowess and broad network, including ties to the White House and former President Trump. Potential competition could come from Pete Ricketts, but Moreno’s momentum appears strong. The live updates also include coverage of Hillary Clinton’s deposition in the Epstein probe and related Oversight Committee dynamics.

Pennsylvania's Senator Bob Casey seeks fourth term amidst GOP opposition.

Pennsylvania's Senator Bob Casey seeks fourth term amidst GOP opposition.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) launched a digital attack ad against Democratic Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, who announced his 2024 re-election campaign seeking a fourth six-year term. Republicans view Casey as vulnerable and aim to flip a Senate seat in the Keystone state. The digital ad labels the senator "shady" and spotlights what it claims are his connections to "scandal after scandal." The NRSC is courting Dave McCormick to take on Casey, who narrowly lost to Mehmet Oz in last year’s GOP Senate primary by less than 1,000 votes. Former state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a far-right Trump loyalist, is also mulling a bid.

Senate Republicans and Democrats gear up for 2024 elections.
politics3 years ago

Senate Republicans and Democrats gear up for 2024 elections.

Senate Republicans are working to avoid a repeat of the 2022 debacle that saw weaker candidates emerge from contested primaries and collapse in the general election, handing Democrats a 51-49 Senate majority. The NRSC is taking a more hands-on approach to primaries, actively working on candidate recruitment and vetting. The goal is to keep Trump aligned with Republican leadership, even as the former president has furiously attacked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Republicans are betting that their preferred chances will vastly improve with the help of big donors and nationwide fundraising.
