Overview

  • The Senate Leadership Fund, the main Republican Senate super PAC, announced Monday a $342 million initial ad reservation for eight contests, with $79 million for Ohio and $71 million for North Carolina.
  • About $236 million is set to defend GOP seats in Ohio, North Carolina, Maine, Iowa, and Alaska, with $106 million to target Democratic-held Michigan, Georgia, and New Hampshire.
  • The plan leaves Texas off the initial map, though the group says it could invest there if the race tightens.
  • The buy shifts more money into streaming and other digital ads, with reservations roughly two-thirds larger than SLF’s entire 2024 online spend.
  • Democratic strategists portray the large bookings in red-leaning states as proof Republicans expect close fights.
