2020 FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF THE SENATE INTENSIFIESThis week the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) – which is the campaign arm of the Senate Republicans – kicked off a major ad blitz in three key races that could determine which party controls the chamber next year. Democratic campaigns and outside groups backing Senate Democrats have vastly outspent the Republicans to date, using ads to blast GOP incumbents facing challenging re-elections this year. Republicans hope to turn the tide – or least try to level the playing field – in a Senate cycle that’s seen them outspent. They’ve announced they’ll be spending more than $30 million to reserve ad time in four key races – Arizona, Iowa, Montana, and North Carolina – beginning in the autumn. And the Senate Majority PAC announced in the early spring that they’d spend at least $70 million to reserve air time to run ads this fall in five key Senate races.
