Senate Majority PAC, aligned with Sen. Chuck Schumer, has committed ad spending to nine states \u2014 Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas \u2014 while watching Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi and Kansas as possible expansions, spokesperson Lauren French said. Cook Political Report moved Kansas into toss-up status the same day.

The group pulled its TV and digital spending in North Carolina this week as Cook shifted that race toward Democrats following a Republican super PAC's spending freeze there. Meanwhile Trump's MAGA Inc. held over $400 million at the end of August versus Senate Majority PAC's roughly $57 million, and GOP party committees have outraised Democratic counterparts by about $100 million since late August.

Forecasters including Sabato's Crystal Ball shifted two races toward Democrats Tuesday, rating 49 seats at least leaning Democratic with four toss-ups; Democrats need to net four seats from their current 47 to reach a majority, given Vice President Vance's tie-breaking vote.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Money talks, and right now the Republican side of the ledger is shouting while the Democratic side is speaking at a normal volume and hoping the math still works out. Being outspent four to one and still 'very pleased' is the kind of thing you say when you've already decided what you're going to say regardless of the bank statement. Could still be true, mind you, but so could the other fellow's story about the fish.
