Democrats have set their sights on three deep red Senate seats in a longshot attempt to hold on to their Senate majority, Axios reported Friday.
As Montana and Ohio’s Senate races are falling out of reach for the party, Democrats have set their sights on targeting Republican incumbents in Texas, Florida and Nebraska less than 40 days from the election, according to Axios. Despite the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) newly announced ad campaign to unseat GOP senators, polling shows that Texas, Florida and Nebraska will be challenging states to flip.
“Senate Democrats are expanding the map and going on offense,” DSCC Chair Gary Peters said in a press release Thursday. “All cycle long the DSCC has been preparing to take advantage of Sens. Cruz and Scott’s damaged standings in their states — and now our efforts in Texas and Florida are accelerating.”
The DSCC’s multi-million dollar television advertising campaign will focus on “holding Cruz and Scott accountable for their allegedly unpopular records and agenda, according to a press release.
