据熟悉该决定的消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，参议院共和党人的主要超级政治行动委员会正在转移数百万美元，以捍卫堪萨斯州的参议院席位，并缩减其在共和党掌控的北卡罗来纳州席位上的投入。
这一调整再次表明，中期选举最后几周前，争夺参议院控制权的竞选格局正在发生变化，共和党正防守多个传统上倾向共和党的州。共和党最多丢失三个席位仍可保住参议院多数党地位，但特朗普总统所在的政党正面临不利的政治环境。
据广告追踪机构AdImpact数据，截至周五，参议院领导基金已在堪萨斯州预留了980万美元的广告预算。该组织2020年马歇尔首次赢得该席位时，曾在当地投入1750万美元。
据美国联邦选举委员会（FEC）备案文件显示，参议院领导基金今年已在北卡罗来纳州参议院竞选中投入超过3000万美元。消息人士称，该组织已暂停在该州未来的广告投放。
这一从北卡罗来纳州转向堪萨斯州的调整最早由美国新闻网站Semafor报道。
在深红州堪萨斯州，现任共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔正努力阻止牧师亚当·汉密尔顿成为自1932年以来首位代表该州的联邦参议员。最近一项民调显示，这场竞选势均力敌，汉密尔顿正试图借助民众对能源价格和伊朗战争的不满情绪发起攻势。
这笔资金很可能将用于在堪萨斯州的广播电视网络中投放大量攻击汉密尔顿的广告。在周四发布的一则广告中，马歇尔的竞选团队指控汉密尔顿掩盖了其任职高级牧师的大型教会内的儿童虐待事件。汉密尔顿在回应广告中否认了这一指控，称该教会在20多年前就对一名青少年静修会志愿者的相关指控展开了调查，已向警方报案并禁止其进入教会活动——《堪萨斯城星报》对法庭记录的调查证实了这些说法。
汉密尔顿称这则广告是“人人都痛恨的那种肮脏政治……”。
汉密尔顿的发言人泰森·布罗迪在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中表示：“华盛顿方面对走投无路、政绩失败的政客罗杰·马歇尔感到恐慌。他们投入数百万美元，试图转移人们对马歇尔支持伊朗战争、削弱医保以及推高汽油和食品等所有商品价格的记录的注意力。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系马歇尔的竞选团队置评。
与此同时，北卡罗来纳州参议院竞选的民调显示，两届前民主党州长罗伊·库珀领先共和党候选人迈克尔·沃特利——一名特朗普盟友，此前曾担任共和党全国委员会主席。
当被记者问及是否担心沃特利的竞选前景时，特朗普表示：“我确实担心。”
“我希望他能获胜，”特朗普说道，他上个月在北卡罗来纳州为沃特利举办了一场竞选集会。“他是个很棒的人，在我胜选期间，他为整个共和党担任了出色的领袖，他也会成为一名出色的参议员。”
库珀的竞选经理杰夫·艾伦向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，北卡罗来纳州仍是一个“势均力敌的州”，并指出近20年来，该州从未选出过民主党联邦参议员或民主党总统候选人。
“我们正在开展竞选活动，争取每一张选票，确保北卡罗来纳州民众知道，罗伊·库珀会为他们而战，而迈克尔·沃特利则会继续以牺牲他们的利益为代价中饱私囊，”艾伦在一份声明中说道。
沃特利的竞选发言人DJ·格里芬在一份声明中表示：“库珀最近在谈到北卡罗来纳州的联邦选举时曾说：‘民主党人往往在领先阶段，直到突然被反超。’ 最后阶段才决定投票的未决选民决定着北卡罗来纳州的选举结果，而这些后期投票者中的大多数通常会投向共和党。我们有信心有足够资源曝光职业政客罗伊·库珀40年的失败履历，并在11月赢得选举。”
在上个月的一次闭门会议上，负责全国共和党参议院竞选的南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员蒂姆·斯科特对议员们表示，共和党仍有机会保住参议院多数党地位。他表示，该团队计划重点防守包括缅因州和得克萨斯州在内的几个席位，并夺取民主党掌控的新罕布什尔州和密歇根州的席位。
“我们正处于生死攸关的竞选之中，面临着数量空前的摇摆选区，”斯科特说道。

Senate GOP group pours millions into defending Kansas seat, scaling back in North Carolina, sources say

Senate Republicans’ main super PAC is redirecting millions of dollars to defend a Kansas Senate seat and scaling back its investments in a GOP-held seat in North Carolina, sources familiar with the decision told CBS News.
The shifts are another sign of how the race for control of the upper chamber is changing in the final weeks before the midterms, with the GOP defending several traditionally red-leaning states. Republicans can lose up to three seats and still hold onto their Senate majority, but President Trump’s party is facing an unfavorable political environment.
As of Friday, the Senate Leadership Fund had reserved $9.8 million in advertising in Kansas, according to AdImpact. The group spent $17.5 million in 2020, when Marshall first won the seat.
The Senate Leadership Fund has spent more than $30 million on the North Carolina Senate race this year, according to FEC filings. The group has paused future ad spending in the state, sources said.
Semafor was first to report on the shift from North Carolina to Kansas.
In deep-red Kansas, incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall is aiming to prevent pastor Adam Hamilton from becoming the first Democrat to represent the state in the Senate since 1932. One recent poll indicated the race is a statistical tie, as Hamilton aims to capitalize on discontent over energy prices and the Iran war.
The money will likely be used to flood Kansas’ airwaves with ads taking aim at Hamilton. In an ad released Thursday, Marshall’s campaign accused Hamilton of covering up child abuse in the large church where he serves as senior pastor. Hamilton denied the charge in a response ad, saying the church investigated allegations against a youth retreat volunteer more than 20 years ago, reported him to police and banned him from church programs — claims a Kansas City Star investigation of court records substantiated.
Hamilton called the ad “exactly the kind of dirty politics … that everybody hates.”
Hamilton spokesperson Tyson Brody told CBS News in a statement: “Washington is panicking over desperate failing politician Roger Marshall. They’re sending in millions to try to distract from Marshall’s record of supporting the war in Iran, gutting healthcare, and raising prices on everything from gas to groceries.”
CBS News has reached out to Marshall’s campaign for comment.
Meanwhile, polling in the North Carolina Senate contest has shown former two-term Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper with an edge over GOP nominee Michael Whatley, a Trump ally who previously chaired the Republican National Committee.
Asked by reporters if he was worried about Whatley’s chances, Mr. Trump said: “I am.”
“I hope he wins,” said Mr. Trump, who held a rally for Whatley in North Carolina last month. “He’s a great man, he was a great leader for the whole Republican Party when I won, and he’d be a great senator.”
Cooper’s campaign manager, Jeff Allen, told CBS News that North Carolina is still a “50-50 state,” noting that a Democrat hasn’t won a Senate or presidential race there in almost 20 years.
“We’re building a campaign to earn every vote and make sure North Carolinians know that Roy Cooper will fight for them, while Michael Whatley will continue to enrich himself at their expense,” Allen said in a statement.
In a statement, Whatley campaign spokesman DJ Griffin said: “Cooper recently said about federal elections in North Carolina, ‘Democrats are often ahead until they are not.’ Undecided Voters who break late decide the election in North Carolina and the majority of those Late-Breakers typically go Republican. We feel confident we have the resources to highlight Career Politician Roy Cooper’s 40 Years of Failures and win in November.”
In a closed-door meeting last month, GOP Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told lawmakers the party still has a path to holding its majority. He said the group plans to focus on defending a handful of seats — including in Maine and Texas — and on taking Democratic-held seats in New Hampshire and Michigan.
“We’re in the fight for our lives with a record number of toss-up races,” Scott said.
