Read, Watch or Listen

Republican Party strategists are moving resources away from Georgia and North Carolina as their prospects for winning Senate seats there wane. The party is instead concentrating on defending Republican‑held seats in other states, such as Texas and Ohio, with five weeks remaining until the 2026 midterm elections. The shift reflects a strategic reassessment of where the GOP can best protect its Senate majority. No independent corroboration of the strategy has been provided beyond the AP report. The report was published on September 29, 2026, and the exact timing of the strategic decision remains unknown.
