Gun-Control Supporters Made Major Gains In Red States During Midterm Wipeout

Brown had an extensive anti-Second Amendment track record during his time in the House of Representatives and United States Senate, according to a 2024 alert by the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund, which was backing Bernie Moreno’s successful effort to oust Brown. Brown supported bans on modern semiautomatic firearms, so-called “red flag” laws and received the backing of anti-Second Amendment organizations.

In South Carolina, Republican Sen. Darline Graham lost her reelection bid to Andrews, a former volunteer for Moms Demand Action, an anti-Second Amendment group backed by Bloomberg.

Republican Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall, a prominent supporter of reforms to the National Firearms Act, also lost his reelection bid Tuesday after he was outspent by $17 million by supporters of Adam Hamilton, a minster who became the first Democrat to win a Senate seat since the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration.

In elections for the House of Representatives, influencer Brandon Herrera, the Republican nominee for the 23rd Congressional District in Texas, lost to Democrat Katy Padilla Stout.
