Sen. Tim Scott said Trump-aligned groups’ promised spending would help Republicans defend their Senate majority. He also described competitive races in Kansas and Georgia as the midterms approach.
Senate Republican campaign chairman Tim Scott said President Donald Trump’s team assured senators they would have the money needed for the midterm elections. Scott called cash important and said investment in the races would help Republicans, while MAGA Inc. and affiliated groups had already spent hundreds of millions on Senate races.
Scott said Adam Hamilton’s challenge to Sen. Roger Marshall in Kansas was closer than expected, and that Republicans had more work to do in Georgia, where Mike Collins is seeking to unseat Sen. Jon Ossoff.
