Former GOP rep: ‘Trump did everything he could to help Republicans lose’ thehill.com/homenews/campaig…

Washington Sun: Republicans are starting to see trouble in red states they never imagined they’d lose — and giving up on states they were fighting for. Alaska is worse than the rest of the map. Gas over $5 a gallon, diesel around $6.70 — both above the national average. Murkowski said one key fishing area hit $12.99. “People are feeling it, and they don’t like it. They don’t like it at all.” Senior Senate GOP aide: “It’s bad out there. No one feels good.” Still time for things to improve, they say. Texas: Paxton vs Talarico has forced a $117 million Senate Leadership Fund ad buy — and that number is expected to rise. Iowa: polls shifted against Hinson. Now a toss-up against Turek. Weeks after voting against a war-powers resolution, she called for an end to the Iran conflict over sky-high gas prices. The map they thought they had six months ago is gone. washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…

NYT: GOP Senate cash is fleeing Georgia and flooding Texas The NRSC told donors it still needs $7.7 million to shore up Iowa and Ohio, plus $1.2 million for Alaska. A GOP-tied group has already put nearly $10 million into Nebraska. Democrats are polling Kansas. Thirty-six days out, Republicans have $51.9 million booked this week on TV and radio in Texas and Ohio. Democrats have $10.2 million in those two states. Georgia is down to $3.1 million. North Carolina is at $3.7 million. Both are less than Alaska. The biggest drain is Texas. Senate Leadership Fund has reserved $125 million. Trump’s super PAC added $20 million. Insiders say the real number could hit $200 million. Democrats have the momentum. Republicans have the map - and they are spending a fortune trying to hold it. nytimes.com/2026/09/28/us/wh…
