Story summary

Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), a top Republican super PAC aligned with Senate GOP leadership, has paused its ad spending in North Carolina's Senate race, where polls show former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper leading over Republican nominee Michael Whatley. The SLF is shifting resources to support Senator Roger Marshall's re-election campaign in traditionally red-leaning Kansas, potentially redirecting up to $10 million before the November 3rd election. This move reflects growing concerns among Republicans about defending seats in states that could be increasingly competitive for Democrats due to President Donald Trump’s declining approval ratings and voter frustration with high costs and the Iran war. The SLF had previously pledged $71 million to North Carolina but has now cut its losses, spending just $30 million there before redirecting funds elsewhere.
