Republican groups are pouring money into key US Senate and House races as the party tries to overcome weak polling, voter concerns about the economy and Donald Trump’s low approval ratings ahead of the November midterms.
Republican-aligned advertisers spent more than $204 million across 10 competitive Senate races during the first 18 days of September, according to AdImpact data cited by The Wall Street Journal. That was $83 million more than spending by Democratic-aligned groups.
