    Read excerpt

    A Republican political action committee spent $131 million over 17 days supporting Ken Paxton's Texas Senate bid, equivalent to roughly $7.7 million per day, according to official filings reviewed by Newsweek.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown leads Republican Senator Jon Husted in the Ohio Senate race by eight points in a new Marist poll of registered voters, as half of the respondents say they strongly disapprove of President Donald Trump. Ohio backed Trump by double digits in 2024, but the state's special Senate election for the seat once held by Vice President JD Vance is shaping up to be a tight one and could play a role in which party controls the upper chamber.
