GOP Outspends Democrats in Competitive Races

NPR: “When it comes to ad spending, Republicans now have a significant advantage heading into the closing weeks of the 2026 midterms.”

“According to an NPR analysis of AdImpact data, Republican candidates and groups have pledged to spend more than $557 million to Democrats’ $343 million in the nine most competitive Senate races this fall. Republican reservations outpace Democrats in all but one of those contests (Georgia). That advantage stretches further once House elections are factored in.”
