Senate Majority PAC Weighs Spending in Kansas, Texas as Map Shifts

Senate Majority PAC is actively evaluating spending in Kansas and Texas as the Senate map becomes more competitive for Democrats. The group’s president, JB Poersch, indicated that Kansas and potentially four or five other states are now viable targets, though Republicans maintain a significant spending advantage in most races. Democrats need to net four seats to control the Senate, with key battlegrounds including Georgia, Michigan, and New Hampshire, plus potential flips in red states like Texas and Ohio. A new super PAC, Texas Forever, was recently registered with the FEC, signaling potential involvement in Texas. Democrats are emphasizing economic issues and voter protection, while Republicans focus on turnout and countering defections among moderate Republicans. The outcome remains uncertain, with Democrats relying on strong fundraising and strategic messaging to overcome resource disparities.

11th Circuit Overturns $8.2M Libel Verdict in Roy Moore Case

An 11th Circuit panel unanimously reversed a jury’s $8.2 million verdict against Senate Majority PAC over a 2017 ad about Roy Moore, ruling the plaintiffs failed to prove the group acted with actual malice and that the ad’s use of cited articles did not clearly imply the alleged misconduct; the court noted the ad was vetted and at most any error was negligent rather than malicious, overturning libel and invasion-of-privacy findings.

"Meddling in GOP Primaries: The Schumer PACs, Bernie Moreno, and Trump's Ohio Trap"

Groups aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, such as the Senate Majority PAC and Majority Forward, have been involved in meddling in several Republican primaries by using other groups to conceal their involvement until after the primaries. They have targeted swing states by boosting candidates supported by former President Trump, likely viewing them as more prone to lose to their Democrat Senate candidate in the general election. This controversial approach has drawn scorn from Republicans, while Democrats have defended the tactic as a strategy that has brought them multiple victories.
