President Donald Trump plans to spend the next 30 days campaigning for Republicans in Alabama, Alaska, Iowa, Ohio and Texas as the party faces unexpected pressure in states he carried comfortably in 2024. The strategy is intended to mobilize low-propensity voters who supported Trump in 2024 but typically skip midterm elections, while limiting time for traditional battlegrounds such as Georgia and North Carolina. Republicans are reducing their emphasis on defeating Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in Georgia and former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s expected victory over Republican nominee Michael Whatley in North Carolina, while defending seats in Texas, Ohio, Alaska and other states. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to regain the Senate majority. Economic concerns, weak approval ratings, candidate issues and the war in Iran are contributing to Republican anxiety, with gasoline averaging $4.48 a gallon, mortgage rates above 7% and Trump’s approval at 37% in a Wall Street Journal poll. The Cook Political Report classifies seven Senate races as toss-ups: Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio and Texas.
