The Senate map continues to deteriorate for Republicans.

How bad is it?

They are now spending millions in two states Donald Trump won by 16 and 18 points in 2024.

Mike Rogers just put up an ad breaking with Donald Trump on tariffs. It's the latest sign Republican candidates are sprinting away from Trump in the final days of the midterms. Will it work?

The most important Senate race in the country for Democrats?

It's Michigan.

Donald Trump promised to campaign in all 35 swing House districts this fall.

Instead he's staying in safe red states like Alabama, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

Donald Trump stopped in Ohio over the weekend to boost Jon Husted and Vivek Ramaswamy.

In his speech, he touted:

* The need for data centers

* His high IQ

* Jon Gruden

* The size of the crowd

Who had the Worst Week in Washington?

What is the Republican Senator whose cell phone number was made public by Donald Trump?

What about the GOP Senate candidate caught badmouthing Trump and the GOP convention?

Republicans are walking away from NC to try to save the Senate.

It won't be the last state they have to give up on in the next month.
