His plan to gain seats in the House appears likely to be successful, picking up roughly ten seats through his redistricting scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut primaries are not general elections, and winning in November is what really counts,\u201d writes Keith Naughton at The Hill. \u201cTrump could be setting himself up for trouble, and it could well come from a senator not even on the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There could be trouble ahead for Senate Republicans who currently hold a 53-47 majority. The majority of \u201cat-risk\u201d seats belong to Republicans, several of which Democrats are poised to flip, including North Carolina and Maine.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves Ohio, Texas, and Michigan, which are toss-ups, according to RealClearPolitics.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Texas where \u201cTrump may have just won the battle but lost the war,\u201d explains Naughton. Many believe Trump\u2019s 11th-hour decision to endorse MAGA Attorney General Ken Paxton over conservative Senator John Cornyn may have been a shot in the foot.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic State Rep.

Turning the minority party into the majority party, however \u2014 that could be very profitable for Murkowski, and for Alaska in general.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Trump endorsed a Murkowski challenger, but she kept her seat. And in 2010, she was forced to run a write-in campaign, and still kept her seat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Murkowski,\u201d Naughton notes, \u201cwho voted to convict Trump on impeachment charges and has little loyalty to the Republican Party, switching gets easier as her longtime colleagues leave the Senate chamber \u2014 some due to Trump\u2019s machinations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=627\">Republican\u2019s aide caught helping Holocaust denier escape prison<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite his claim that he does not care about the midterms, President Donald Trump has been focused on securing GOP majority control of both chambers of Congress in November.His revenge campaign nearly over, Trump has managed to use the primaries to unseat House and Senate Republicans he deemed disl&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
