U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged Tuesday that Republicans face a tough fight to hold onto both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November midterm elections, even though forecasts indicate a greater challenge for the House.
Despite this, the Republican Party is injecting hundreds of millions of dollars into defending congressional and state-level seats, including in states traditionally considered safe for them.
In some states like North Carolina and Georgia, Republicans appear to be scaling back ambitions by reallocating resources toward other strongholds where Democrats are mounting unexpected challenges, according to Douglas Herbert, international affairs commentator for France 24.
