Exclusive: Republicans juice spending to protect Senate "red wall"

Republicans are significantly increasing campaign spending in Ohio and Iowa to reinforce a Senate red wall and prevent Democrats from gaining a majority. Alarmed by recent polls, the GOP is boosting efforts in these states. One Nation, a conservative nonprofit aligned with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, is reserving $28 million for TV advertising in Ohio and $11 million in Iowa. This strategic spending aims to counter Democratic momentum and secure Senate control for 2026 elections.
