Republicans are shifting resources into traditionally Republican states as they confront difficult midterm conditions and growing concern about the prospect of Democratic gains, according to reports from Politico, AP, Time and Fox News.
Politico reported that President Donald Trump’s economic agenda has become a particular liability in the Midwest, prompting Republicans who had been optimistic about Senate contests to play defense. AP reported that the party is directing money into red states in an effort to protect its position against Democrats. Time characterized the concern within the party as panic over a potential Democratic wave, while Fox News said Republicans face severe political headwinds but identified factors that could help them overcome the historical disadvantages typically confronting the president’s party in midterm elections.
The Senate on Thursday rejected a House-passed resolution that would have directed Trump to withdraw U.S. troops from the conflict, The Hill and Reuters reported. Four Republican senators joined nearly all Senate Democrats in supporting the war powers measure, according to The Hill. The House had approved the resolution in July.
