政府助小贩控成本 确保食品价格合理

确保食品价格可负担，是政府的重点工作。当局虽无法直接控制市场售价，但会通过可持续的方式，让人们能以合理价格购买食物，包括帮助小贩控制成本。
国会星期三（9月9日）辩论由政府国会永续发展与环境委员会提出的粮食韧性动议，多名议员关注食品价格上涨的问题。
永续发展与环境部长傅海燕参与辩论时回应说，人们担忧食品价格上涨是合理的。
她说：“长远来看，食品价格可能持续面对上涨压力。气候变化、疾病暴发、地缘政治局势紧张，以及供应链受阻，都可能影响农作物收成，也会推高食品的生产和运输成本。”
傅海燕指出，新加坡无法完全避开这些全球压力，但可通过“新加坡食品故事2”（Singapore Food Story 2）策略，增强我国应对粮食供应受干扰的能力。
这项全国策略从促进本土生产、加强国际合作、实现食品进口多元化，以及建立食品储备四方面着手，全面提升我国食品韧性。
文化、社区及青年部兼永续部高级政务次长吴函燕发言时说：“食物是日常必需品，就算价格只是小幅上涨，累积起来也是不小的数目。因此，确保食品价格维持在大众负担得起的水平，是政府的重点工作。”
她指出，政府不会直接控制食品价格，而是通过维持市场公平竞争、扩大食物来源和消费者选择，以及为有需要的家庭提供针对性的援助等方式，让人们能以合理价格购买食物。
政府国会永续委员会主席、三巴旺西区议员傅丽珊，建议永续部、保健卫生部和社会及家庭发展部联手打造“全国社区供餐体系”（nationwide community-dining ecosystem），在居民联系网中心、活跃乐龄中心和宗教场所等便利的地点，为弱势群体提供热食，以降低他们的日常食品开销。
吴函燕回应说，我国其实已有覆盖全岛的社区供餐网络，本地120多座小贩中心就是这个网络的核心。“小贩中心是重要的社会基础设施，不仅让新加坡人能吃到价格亲民的餐食，也有助于促进邻里联系。”
不过，要让小贩继续提供价格合理的餐食，也得确保他们经营得下去。
吴函燕说，政府因此也关注小贩面对的成本压力。近期中东局势推高经营成本，政府早前已宣布为小贩中心和巴刹摊贩提供半年的租金补贴，帮助他们缓解压力。
一些社企小贩中心也会为摊贩集中采购食材，以较优惠的价格进货。
参与辩论的丹戎巴葛集选区议员祖安清心建议进一步推动集中采购，并鼓励小贩采购本地农产品。这样既可增加本地农产品的需求，也有望让小贩以更具竞争力的价格取得食材。

哥伦比亚特区巡回法院合议庭裁定，该机构将数据移交给移民执法部门的行为可能违反了联邦税务隐私法
作者：阿什利·J·迪梅拉 福克斯新闻
周二，一名法官在一桩涉及移民海关执法局（ICE）数据共享案件中，将美国国税局（IRS）的辩称斥为“站不住脚的蹩脚说辞”，批评者随即对这一联邦上诉法院的裁决发难，此举因裁决中罕见的措辞立即引发强烈反弹。
“地区法院允许国税局‘以密封形式’提交任何必要通知，从而将任何刑事调查活动免于披露，在此情况下，该辩称就是‘蹩脚说辞’，”哥伦比亚特区巡回法院法官科妮莉亚·皮拉德写道。她于2013年由前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命。
“蹩脚说辞”是俚语，指那些缺乏实质内容、难以成立的事物。
这起诉讼的核心是，国税局在收到超过100万名疑似非法移民的信息请求后，将数万纳税人的地址分享给移民海关执法局，是否违反了联邦税务保密法。该案由全部由奥巴马任命法官组成的三人哥伦比亚特区巡回法院合议庭审理：皮拉德、帕特里夏·米利特和罗伯特·威尔金斯。

批评者迅速抨击皮拉德的“蹩脚说辞”言论，称其“令人难堪”，另有多人谴责该裁决。
“国土安全部强烈反对这一裁决。我们将继续利用所有合法可用的工具，定位并驱逐已下达最终驱逐令的非法外国人，这一裁决绝不会阻止我们这么做，”国土安全部周三告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“两名法官居然没有提醒撰写意见的法官换掉意思相同的不当措辞，这对法院来说是一种耻辱。如今这番话会被未来的案件引用，只会显得幼稚且不严肃，”保守派律师威廉·希普利在X平台上写道。
“三名反特朗普的奥巴马任命法官滥用权力，削弱基本的移民执法力度。联邦法院正面临司法诚信危机，”司法观察主席汤姆·菲顿在X平台上写道。
“任何人怎么会在任何正式文件中使用这种措辞？这超出了法律礼仪的范畴。完全就是不专业，”X平台上的一名用户说道。
“我完全支持使用通俗易懂的语言，但在司法意见中加入流行俚语的做法已经失控，”另一名用户发帖称。
“让法律写作重回正式规范，”华盛顿特区律师约书亚·普林斯在X平台上写道。

法官们维持了下级法院的禁令，阻止国税局使用当前流程向移民海关执法局提供纳税人信息，认定该程序未能遵守联邦税务保密法。法官们发现，移民海关执法局经常提交“要么不完整，要么信息填写不足”的申请，但国税局仍向其提供了数万纳税人的地址。
该裁决出台之际，唐纳德·特朗普总统将移民执法列为核心优先事项，指示政府扩大边境安全、拘留和驱逐行动，而移民海关执法局正在全国范围内加强逮捕行动。

Obama judge’s peculiar Trump rebuke ignites fury over ‘unprofessional’ language: ‘Embarrassment’
September 9, 2026 10:00am EDT / Fox News
DC Circuit panel ruled the agency likely violated federal tax privacy law by handing data to immigration enforcement
By Ashley J. DiMella Fox News
Critics took aim Tuesday at a federal appeals court after a judge dismissed the IRS’ argument in an ICE data-sharing case as “weak sauce,” drawing immediate backlash over the unusual language in the ruling.
“That argument is ‘weak sauce’ where the district court has permitted the IRS to file any necessary notifications ‘under seal,’ thereby shielding any criminal investigative activity from disclosure,” wrote D.C. Circuit Judge Cornelia Pillard, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2013.
“Weak sauce” is slang for something that falls flat and lacks substance.
The lawsuit centers on whether the IRS violated federal tax-confidentiality law by sharing tens of thousands of taxpayer addresses with ICE after receiving requests for information on more than 1 million suspected illegal immigrants. The case was heard by a three-judge D.C. Circuit panel composed entirely of Obama appointees: Pillard, Patricia Millett and Robert Wilkins.
OBAMA-APPOINTED JUDGE TORCHES TRUMP ADMIN IN LATEST COURTROOM SHOWDOWN, REFERS ATTORNEY FOR BAR REVIEW

Critics were quick to slam Pillard’s “weak sauce” comment, calling it an “embarrassment” while others slammed the ruling.
“DHS strongly disagrees with this ruling. We will continue using every lawful tool available to locate and remove illegal aliens with final orders of removal, and this ruling in no way prevents us from doing so,” DHS told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
“It’s an embarrassment to the Court that 2 judges would not have told the author to change a different phrase with the same meaning. Now that is going to be quoted/cited in future cases and it will look sophomoric and unserious,” said conservative attorney William Shipley on X.
“Three anti-Trump Obama judges abuse power to impair basic immigration law enforcement. We have a judicial integrity crisis in the federal courts,” wrote Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton on X.
“Why would anyone put that language in a professional document of any kind? That goes beyond legal decorum. It’s just unprofessional across the board,” said one user on X.
“I’m all for using accessible language, but the insertion of popular slang in judicial opinions is getting out of hand,” another posted to X.
“Make legal writing formal again,” wrote D.C. attorney Joshua Prince on X.

“Did Ketanji write that or some TikTok fan girl? Borderline illiteracy,” said one user.
The plaintiffs—including the Center for Taxpayer Rights, Main Street Alliance and two labor unions—argued the IRS failed to ensure ICE’s requests met strict legal requirements.
APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP ADMIN FROM HOLDING MIGRANTS WITHOUT BOND FOR OVER 90 DAYS

The judges upheld a lower-court order blocking the IRS from using its current process to provide taxpayer information to ICE, finding that the procedure failed to comply with federal tax-confidentiality law. The judges found that ICE often submitted “either incomplete or insufficiently populated” information, yet the IRS still provided tens of thousands of taxpayer addresses.
The ruling comes as President Donald Trump has made immigration enforcement a central priority, directing the administration to expand border security, detention and deportations while ICE ramps up arrests nationwide.

韩政府审议霍尔木兹派兵 美伊夹击下陷两难
2026年9月9日 20:43 / 联合早报
韩国人周三（9月9日）在首尔游行，反对韩国可能参与美国在霍尔木兹海峡的军事行动。 （法新社）
韩国政府正就是否为保障霍尔木兹海峡航行自由向中东派兵，面临艰难抉择。尽管青瓦台强调尚未作出决定，但随着国防部调查团赴阿联酋实地考察，韩国的派兵讨论已进入具体审议阶段。美国总统特朗普持续施压要求韩国支援伊朗战争，伊朗也警告首尔不要介入，令李在明政府面对更大外交压力。
正在法国进行国事访问的李在明星期二（9月8日）在爱丽舍宫与法国总统马克龙举行会谈。李在明在会后共同会见记者时说，韩法将继续密切合作，推动霍尔木兹海峡恢复自由航行，并尽快稳定全球产业链和供应链。双方还商定积极发掘互利军工合作项目，并启动民用核能合作高级别对话。
李在明有关霍尔木兹海峡的表态随即引发韩国是否已倾向派兵的猜测。青瓦台宣传沟通首席秘书成耆洪9日紧急划清界限，强调“政府尚未最终确定方针，正在慎重判断”，不能把李在明与马克龙讨论航行自由“立即等同于派兵”。
成耆洪说，政府目前正从实务层面慎重研究多种方案，内部讨论仍在进行。不过，青瓦台也承认派遣实地调查团是派兵审议过程的一部分。相比此前保持观望，政府如今开始具体确认驻扎地点和后勤条件，显示派兵讨论已明显向前推进。
韩国国防部日前派调查团前往设有美军基地的阿联酋，考察韩国部队一旦派驻当地可利用的军事据点、舰艇停泊设施，以及维修和补给等支援条件。调查团预计本周返韩，并将结果提交国家安全保障会议（NSC）。有观点认为，韩国政府最快可能在17日举行的NSC常务委员会会议上讨论是否派兵。
国家安保室长魏成洛8日也说，韩国已表明愿为霍尔木兹海峡稳定作出“实质性贡献”，并正参与多国军事合作及外交努力等后续磋商。
特朗普的施压成为影响韩国审议的重要因素。特朗普自上月16日声称李在明拒绝参与伊朗无核化以来，不到一个月已五度点名韩国，上月30日接受福克斯新闻采访时更警告“我会记得”。
尽管韩国国防部否认美方正式提出“11月派兵”的要求，但要求首尔尽快行动的压力日益明显。李在明本月赴美出席联合国大会期间，特朗普是否再次当面施压也备受关注。
不过，若韩国决定派兵，要在11月实际部署仍有一定难度。海外派兵须经过国务会议审议、总统批准和国会同意，并完成部队组建、训练及装备调动。2004年韩国向伊拉克派遣部队时，从部队成立到实际出国就耗时五个多月。
伊朗的反弹也使首尔更加谨慎。伊朗外交部7日已警告韩国克制参与军事行动，伊朗司法部门首脑也突然取消原定下周访韩行程。
对李在明政府而言，不响应美国要求可能给韩美同盟增添摩擦，派兵则可能恶化韩伊关系，甚至增加韩国卷入中东冲突的风险。在华盛顿步步催促与伊朗公开警告之间，霍尔木兹派兵正成为李在明政府一项棘手的外交安全考验。

$54M CodePink-linked foundation shut down in California pops up at ramshackle Miami home
2026-09-09T11:06:59-04:00 / Fox News
A far-left foundation that bankrolled CodePink and recently reported $54.6 million in assets before being shut down by California regulators has resurfaced at a ramshackle Miami home.
Arc of Justice, led by CodePink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin, lost its charitable registration after years of failing to file required financial paperwork with California. But what appears to be the same nonprofit is now registered at a small, single-story house owned by Benjamin’s longtime partner and fellow activist, Tighe Barry, documents viewed by Fox News Digital show.
The sequence of events raises questions about why it fell out of compliance in California.
HOUSE PANEL SUBPOENAS 3 LEFT-WING GROUPS IN PROBE OF $39M TIED TO MARXIST TYCOON NEVILLE SINGHAM

Arc of Justice has poured millions of dollars into left-wing and progressive activist organizations over the years, including CodePink, Global Exchange, the Alliance for Global Justice and the National Iranian American Council, according to IRS filings. Federal tax returns provided to Fox News Digital by Arc of Justice’s attorney show the California foundation’s assets grew from $51.4 million at the end of 2023 to $54.6 million at the end of 2024, while it continued distributing millions of dollars in grants.
CodePink has campaigned against U.S. policy toward China and Cuba and has been accused by congressional investigators of promoting Chinese Communist Party interests — allegations the group has denied.
Benjamin, who has been a political activist for decades and has often disrupted congressional hearings, co-founded CodePink with Jodie Evans, the wife of Shanghai-based Marxist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, whose funding network has come under congressional and federal scrutiny over alleged foreign influence and the use of tax-exempt organizations.
Now it’s Arc of Justice’s finances that are coming under the microscope.
“It’s pretty unusual. Most private foundations are fairly scrupulous on their compliance efforts,” Patrick Sternal, a former IRS official who specialized in tax-exempt organizations, told Fox News Digital. “So it’s unusual for a private foundation with that much in the bank to fall out of compliance and to be suspended.”

The California Attorney General’s Office, led by Democrat Rob Bonta, revoked Arc of Justice’s charitable registration in January 2025 after it failed to submit required annual filings with the state for 2020 through 2024. The foundation had already been suspended for more than a year before the revocation. The state Attorney General’s Office told Fox News Digital that Arc of Justice had continually failed to respond to the registry’s delinquency and suspension notices before its registration was revoked.
Under the revocation, Arc of Justice had 30 days to provide the state with an accounting of its charitable assets and was barred from distributing or spending them without the attorney general’s prior written approval.
The years of noncompliance culminated in another notice from California regulators on June 19, 2026, reiterating the outstanding asset-accounting requirement and warning that Arc of Justice couldn’t distribute or spend charitable assets without the attorney general’s written approval.
The notice said Arc of Justice would also have to provide regulators with enough information to assure the state that there had been “no loss of charitable assets” if it sought to have its registration reinstated. The Network Contagion Research Institute previously detailed Arc of Justice’s regulatory problems in a May report examining the foundation’s finances and activities.
FIRST ON FOX: ‘NO KINGS’ PROTEST NETWORK BEHIND FIGHT AGAINST AI DATA CENTERS AND FLOCK CAMERAS
David Levitt, an attorney representing Arc of Justice, said the foundation has submitted filings seeking reinstatement with California regulators.
The Attorney General’s Office told Fox News Digital on Sept. 3, 2026, that it had not received the required accounting of Arc’s charitable assets. At the time, Arc was listed as “REVOKED” and “PAST DUE.” As of Sept. 9, its registration remained “REVOKED,” while its reporting status had changed to “IN REVIEW.”
California’s reinstatement rules require a revoked charity to explain why it failed to comply with reporting requirements and respond to Registry notices.
Laurie Styron, CEO and executive director of nonprofit watchdog CharityWatch, said Arc’s substantial assets made the compliance failures difficult to explain.
“A foundation with tens of millions of dollars in charitable assets certainly has the resources to comply with basic reporting requirements,” she said.
Fox News Digital asked Levitt to provide documentation of the reinstatement filings and to explain specifically why Arc of Justice failed to make the required California filings in the first place. He had not responded to those questions by publication time.
California’s latest compliance notice to Arc of Justice came just six weeks after a new Arc of Justice surfaced in Florida.
On May 8, Barry and other people associated with the original foundation incorporated a new nonprofit bearing the same name in the Little River neighborhood in North Miami.
The timing raised obvious questions: Was the California foundation moving to Florida after its charitable registration was revoked
, and what was happening to its assets?
and what was happening to its assets?
The Attorney General’s Office told Fox News Digital it had not received notice from Arc of Justice of any planned transfer, merger or dissolution and had not approved any transfer of the foundation’s assets.

Levitt told Fox News Digital that the Florida corporation was created as a “placeholder” while Arc considered relocating its operations from California, but the move was never completed. He said the California corporation was never formally wound down, no assets were transferred and the Florida entity “holds no assets and has conducted no business.”
“Arc of Justice, the California nonprofit corporation, currently still holds the assets,” Levitt said, adding that they remain professionally managed “in the same accounts they have been in for years.”
Levitt subsequently provided Fox News Digital with financial documentation that independently verified that the California foundation continues to hold the assets.
The Miami address wasn’t new. The original Arc of Justice had been using Barry’s property on its federal tax filings since at least 2017, even as it remained incorporated in California.
Questions have also emerged about the original foundation’s federal filings.
Arc of Justice’s Forms 990-PF for 2023 and 2024 were not publicly available in the IRS database when Fox News Digital searched for them. Levitt subsequently provided Fox News Digital with copies of both returns.
According to Levitt, Arc of Justice’s accountant said both returns had been paper-filed and electronically filed, although Fox News Digital has not independently verified when the IRS received or accepted them.
Benjamin was adamant in a phone interview with Fox News Digital that Arc of Justice had filed its returns every year.
“I’m 100% positive. We have filed the 990s every single year,” Benjamin said. She also told Fox News Digital she would make sure the missing returns were provided, which they subsequently were.
Benjamin was less certain about the foundation’s California regulatory problems, saying she had moved to Florida and that “the lawyer knows more than I do.”

After reviewing the newly produced returns, Sternal said the documents showed Arc of Justice’s accountant had at least made an effort to file them, but said questions remained over whether and when they were actually submitted.
“Maybe they are trying to get back into compliance with the IRS,” Sternal said. “They still have a lot of clean up to do with California.”
Styron similarly said determining when the returns were actually filed was critical to assessing Arc of Justice’s compliance. She noted that IRS and state databases can lag behind submissions, but said delays of several years would be unusual.
“It would be tough to say more without knowing when forms were signed and filed,” Styron said.
While the new records accounted for the foundation’s assets and provided the previously unavailable returns, questions remained over when the federal returns were actually filed.
Styron also said Arc of Justice’s explanation for creating the Florida nonprofit did not absolve the California foundation’s board of its responsibility to file the active organization’s required forms on time.
Meanwhile, Sternal, who is now a nonprofit tax attorney at law firm Holtzman Vogel who advises nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, said there is nothing wrong or unusual about forming a nonprofit in another state. What raises questions, he said, is whether the new Florida organization is intended to take over the original foundation or its assets — a move that would trigger additional legal requirements.
“It’s not so easy,” Sternal said. “It can be done, it’s possible, but there are a lot of hoops that they have to jump through.”
Because Arc of Justice remained a California corporation, Sternal said it would have to work with California’s attorney general before transferring funds to another organization or moving the foundation out of state.

Along with the new Florida corporation bearing the same Arc of Justice name and Miami address used by the embattled California foundation, two of its three officers also held positions with the original organization.
Maya Danaher, Benjamin’s daughter and former treasurer of the original Arc of Justice, is president of the new Florida corporation.
Jonathan Raggett, who served as secretary of the original foundation, is now its treasurer.
Benjamin served as president of the original California foundation but is not listed as an officer of the new Florida corporation.
Meanwhile, Benjamin’s longtime partner Barry was not listed as an officer of the original foundation but serves as secretary of the new organization. He is also listed as incorporating Arc of Justice in Florida and serves as its registered agent.
Its stated goal is blunt: “WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT SOCIAL JUSTICE NON PROFITS,” according to the articles of incorporation.
All three officers list the Miami house as their address — a 1,334-square-foot Miami duplex owned by Barry, property records show.

SUBPOENAED PRO-CHINA OUTLET DEFENDS ITSELF ON DEMOCRACY NOW!, WHICH PAID SINGHAM-FOUNDED COMPANY MILLIONS
Arc of Justice was formerly known as The Benjamin Fund, Inc., with California corporate records showing the foundation formally changed its name in November 2019.
Its fortune was built largely on Benjamin family money.
Benjamin’s father, Alvin Benjamin, was a prominent Long Island real estate developer who founded The Benjamin Companies in the early 1960s. The Benjamin Fund’s initial 2003 IRS return shows he contributed a partnership interest valued at $683,715 to the foundation, with Medea Susan Benjamin serving as president.
Much larger contributions followed. In 2010, the estate of Benjamin’s mother, Rose Benjamin, contributed $10,863,060, according to the foundation’s IRS filing. Five years later, the Estate of Alvin Benjamin contributed another $15 million, followed by another $8,603,450 in 2019.
The foundation’s wealth also grew through its investments. In 2020, Arc of Justice reported $12,344,501 in unrealized gains on securities, helping push its year-end assets to nearly $40 million.
Medea Benjamin — identified as Susan Benjamin on the filing — personally contributed $1 million to Arc of Justice in 2022, listing the Miami house as her address.

The foundation subsequently became a vehicle for funding activist organizations, including Global Exchange, the advocacy group Benjamin co-founded with her then-husband, Kevin Danaher. The organization remains active today, with Danaher still serving on its board, according to its 2024 Form 990.
Benjamin later co-founded CodePink in 2002 with Evans and has remained one of the anti-war group’s most prominent activists and public faces.
Arc of Justice would go on to pour substantial sums into CodePink, including $251,500 in 2020 and $355,350 in 2022, according to the foundation’s IRS filings.
The newly obtained returns show that Arc of Justice gave CodePink $277,580 in 2023 and another $350,000 in 2024.
CodePink has itself come under federal scrutiny. Benjamin traveled to Cuba in March with fellow CodePink co-founder Evans and far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker as part of a roughly 170-person convoy to the communist-run island.
Benjamin later confirmed that the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which enforces U.S. sanctions against Cuba, sent CodePink a detailed inquiry seeking information about the trip’s financing, logistics, participants and activities.

Benjamin said the group brought about $600,000 worth of humanitarian aid to Cuba and described the Treasury inquiry as “serious,” while also calling it an “intimidation tactic.”
Evans and a network of nonprofits funded by her husband, Singham, have also come under congressional and federal scrutiny.
Singham, an American tech entrepreneur who sold his software company ThoughtWorks for an estimated $785 million in 2017 and now lives in Shanghai, has directed at least $278 million into six core nonprofits that Fox News Digital previously reported promote socialist, communist and pro-China causes as part of a broader international network of media organizations, activist groups and think tanks.
CodePink is one of those nonprofits.
The congressional investigation remains ongoing, while Singham is separately under federal criminal investigation. Neither Singham nor CodePink has been charged with wrongdoing in connection with the investigations described here.

Florida officials confirmed the new Arc of Justice was created as a Florida nonprofit on May 8, 2026, rather than simply registering the existing California corporation in the state.
“That entity is on our records as a Domestic Nonprofit corporation. It is a Florida entity,” Florida Department of State regulatory specialist LaCori Brown told Fox News Digital.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services separately told Fox News Digital that the new Arc of Justice isn’t currently registered to solicit charitable contributions in the state and has not applied for a charitable solicitation registration or exemption.
The department also said it hasn’t received any filings identifying assets transferred from the California Arc of Justice to the new Florida corporation nor any complaints, referrals or regulatory inquiries concerning the new organization.
Sternal stressed that the available records don’t establish that Arc of Justice’s assets were misappropriated or improperly used. He said the foundation’s years of California noncompliance remained highly unusual.
“This organization with this large endowment has simply fallen off the radar, as it were, with its filings, with its compliance with California,” Sternal said.
“Those don’t belong to the officers and directors of the foundation. Those belong to the foundation,” Sternal said. “They must be used for public charitable purposes.”

Levitt said Arc of Justice’s board is still considering moving the foundation out of California and potentially establishing two separate charitable vehicles so the foundation’s founder and its officers and directors can pursue separate charitable activities.
For now, the original Arc of Justice remains a California corporation and continues to hold its assets, while the future of the newly incorporated Florida organization remains unsettled.

华盛顿讯 随着2026年初选季落下帷幕，决定参议院控制权归属的关键竞选已确定将于今年秋季中期选举展开。
共和党正努力保住当前的多数席位，目前共和党掌控53个参议院席位。本次选举的选区格局最初看似对共和党有利，因为他们需要防守的22个席位所在州，均是特朗普总统在2024年以较大优势获胜的州。但不受欢迎的伊朗战争以及持续存在的民生负担问题，让多个共和党掌控的席位竞争日益激烈，而民主党也正努力保卫少数几个席位，防止被共和党翻蓝。
若要拿下参议院多数席位，民主党需要在11月的选举中净增4个席位。
以下是12场值得关注的关键参议院选举：
缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯（左）与民主党候选人特洛伊·杰克逊。盖蒂图片社
即便民主党提名人参选者、牡蛎养殖户格雷厄姆·普拉特纳曝出个人争议之前，缅因州的参议院选举就已备受关注。今年7月，普拉特纳因性侵指控退出竞选。
随后缅因州民主党人团结起来，推举特洛伊·杰克逊作为候选人，在11月挑战共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯。这场选举曾被视为民主党拿下席位的最直接机会。但这位已连任五届的参议员此前曾多次克服艰难的连任竞选挑战，而民主党混乱的初选进程也可能让局势变得复杂。
现年58岁的杰克逊是第五代伐木工，曾担任缅因州参议院议长，自称是工人阶级的捍卫者。伯尼·桑德斯参议员曾支持杰克逊参选州长，但他在今年6月的民主党初选中仅获得第三名，未能成功。
现年73岁的柯林斯自1997年起担任参议员，目前担任权力巨大的拨款委员会主席。她被认为是参议院中最独立的议员之一，经常与特朗普总统意见相左。但在2024年大选支持副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的缅因州选民眼中，她的这种反对立场是否足够有说服力，仍有待观察。《库克政治报告》和弗吉尼亚大学政治中心均将这场选举评为“势均力敌”。
密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德（左）与共和党候选人迈克·罗杰斯。盖蒂图片社
密歇根州的这场标志性参议院选举正在前共和党众议员迈克·罗杰斯与民主党人、前密歇根州卫生官员阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德之间展开。
现年41岁的埃尔赛义德在一场激烈的民主党初选中获胜，这场初选凸显了本选举周期内民主党内部关于政党发展方向的核心分歧。上月，他击败了一名获得全国民主党支持的温和派候选人，后者曾批评埃尔赛义德的政见在这个摇摆州过于极端。随着埃尔赛义德迎战罗杰斯，这一争议将接受检验。罗杰斯因在共和党初选中无对手参选，已有数月时间完善其大选竞选纲领。
现年63岁的罗杰斯是陆军退伍军人、前联邦调查局特工，2001年至2015年代表密歇根州在众议院任职。他曾在2024年竞选密歇根州另一参议院席位，仅以不到2万票的差距输给民主党参议员埃莉莎·斯洛特金。
罗杰斯与埃尔赛义德将角逐民主党参议员加里·彼得斯退休后留下的空缺席位。密歇根州在近期选举中交替支持民主党和共和党总统候选人。该州上一次选举共和党人参议院议员还是在1994年，而特朗普在2024年以不到2个百分点的优势赢得该州。《库克政治报告》和弗吉尼亚大学政治中心均将这场选举评为“势均力敌”。
俄亥俄州共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德（左）与民主党参议院候选人谢罗德·布朗。盖蒂图片社
在俄亥俄州，前参议员谢罗德·布朗正寻求重返参议院，而共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德则首次为捍卫自己的席位而战。
现年73岁的布朗在2024年寻求第四个参议院任期时，输给了共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺，但他一直保持着强大的工人阶级形象，且在该州拥有广泛的知名度，被视为极具竞争力的对手。
现年59岁的赫斯特德曾担任俄亥俄州副州长和国务卿。去年他被任命填补副总统JD·万斯留下的参议院席位。
俄亥俄州上一次选举民主党人参议员还是在2018年布朗连任成功之时，该州在过去三届总统选举中均支持共和党候选人。但民主党人认为仍有获胜机会：布朗在2024年的选举中仅以4个百分点的差距落败，而同年特朗普在该州的胜势超过10个百分点。《库克政治报告》和弗吉尼亚大学政治中心均将这场选举评为“势均力敌”。
在这片“最后的边疆”州，现任参议员丹·沙利文正寻求保住自己的席位，面临前民主党众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉的严峻挑战，而另一位名叫丹·沙利文的候选人也让本已竞争激烈的选举更加复杂。
在阿拉斯加州，初选得票前四的候选人将进入大选。尽管现任参议员和佩尔托拉是本次选举的热门人选，但丹尼尔·J·沙利文（现任参议员为丹尼尔·S·沙利文）和杰拉尔德·海克斯也晋级大选，选举将通过排序复选制决定结果。
第二位沙利文是一名前教师，今年6月宣布挑战现任参议员，促使现任参议员推动将其从选票上移除，但未能成功。初选结果出炉后，两位丹·沙利文都将出现在选票上，这可能让现任参议员的连任前景变得复杂。
现年61岁的沙利文是连任两届的参议员，也是海军陆战队退伍军人，曾在乔治·W·布什政府时期的国务院工作。他的主要竞争对手是现年53岁的佩尔托拉，后者在2022年成为50年来首位代表该州在众议院任职的民主党人。
佩尔托拉在2024年阿拉斯加州唯一的众议院席位连任竞选中最终落败，尽管她仅以不到3个百分点的差距失利，而同年特朗普在该州以13个百分点的优势获胜。尽管阿拉斯加州自2008年以来就没有选举过民主党人参议院议员，但作为首位进入国会的阿拉斯加原住民，佩尔托拉将自己塑造为该州的独立声音。佩尔托拉在8月的初选中获得最高票数。

民主党人期待已久的胜利机会出现在孤星之州，州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科将与总检察长肯·帕克斯顿展开本届选举周期最受关注的竞选之一。
现年63岁的帕克斯顿在共和党初选中击败参议员约翰·科宁，成功获得提名。这位自2002年起代表德克萨斯州的现任参议员，凭借特朗普最后时刻的背书成功翻盘。鉴于帕克斯顿过往的个人争议以及更为保守的政见，民主党人认为11月的参选将让他们的胜算提升。尽管共和党人仍对保住席位充满信心，但部分人承认这场竞选将十分艰难且耗资巨大。
现年37岁的塔拉里科曾是教师和 Presbyterian神学院学生。尽管德克萨斯州自1988年以来就没有选举过民主党人参议院议员，但民主党人希望塔拉里科能成为获胜候选人，他自称是“进步派基督徒”。共和党人抓住他此前关于素食主义和性别议题的言论，称他对德克萨斯州来说过于极端，但选民是否认同这一说法仍有待观察。
《库克政治报告》和弗吉尼亚大学政治中心均将这场选举评为“势均力敌”。
共和党众议员阿什利·辛普森与民主党州众议员乔希·图雷克将于11月对决，角逐艾奥瓦州的参议院席位。此前共和党参议员乔尼·恩斯特宣布不寻求连任，为这个近年来日益右转的州带来了一场出人意料的激烈竞争。
恩斯特宣布退选后，共和党人迅速团结在现年43岁的辛普森身后，她自2021年起代表艾奥瓦州在众议院任职。这位前本地新闻主播获得了总统的背书，并誓言要成为参议院中总统的“头号盟友”，同时围绕医疗保健、退伍军人福利和打击腐败等议题展开竞选。
现年47岁的图雷克是州众议员，曾是轮椅篮球残奥会选手。在他致力于将艾奥瓦州的参议院席位翻蓝的过程中，他强调自己作为该州最保守选区民主党代表的经历。在竞选活动中，他指出自己跨党派合作的记录，并承诺与总统合作。
尽管艾奥瓦州自2008年以来就没有选举过民主党人参议院议员，且特朗普在2024年以13个百分点的优势赢得该州，但民主党人仍对胜算抱有希望，因为民生负担问题和特朗普的关税政策让艾奥瓦州选民不满。民主党人还希望州审计员罗布·桑德在州长选举中的出色表现能为图雷克带来助力。在这个近年来已成为共和党票仓的州，民主党人要翻转席位将面临巨大挑战。《库克政治报告》将这场选举评为“势均力敌”，而弗吉尼亚大学政治中心则将其评为“倾向共和党”。

共和党众议员迈克·柯林斯将在佐治亚州挑战参议员乔恩·奥索夫，这场竞争激烈的选举曾被认为是共和党拿下席位的最轻松机会之一。
奥索夫是该州唯一寻求连任的民主党参议员，而特朗普在2024年赢得了佐治亚州。但混乱的共和党初选推迟了针对这位第一任期参议员的大选挑战计划。
现年59岁的柯林斯在6月的初选 runoff 中胜出，成为共和党候选人。他是一家货运公司的老板，自2023年起代表佐治亚州在众议院任职，在参议院竞选中将自己塑造成总统的坚定盟友，并宣扬自己牵头推出了以佐治亚州护理学生莱肯·莱利命名的移民法案。与此同时，他将奥索夫描绘为脱离佐治亚州选民价值观的人。但他的竞选团队也因身边人员的争议蒙上阴影，其中一名前助手被曝在社交媒体上分享纳粹和三K党相关图片。
现年39岁的奥索夫于2021年进入参议院，此前曾在国会山担任幕僚，并从事调查新闻工作。当时他帮助民主党拿下了佐治亚州的两场 runoff 胜利之一，确保了民主党对参议院的控制权。如今，这位可能在2028年参选总统的参议员，正努力在这个上次选举中向右倾斜的州保住席位。
佐治亚州上一次选举共和党人参议院议员还是在2016年。民主党人认为，在伊朗战争不受欢迎以及白宫其他政策引发不满的背景下，柯林斯与总统的密切关系将成为奥索夫的助力。《库克政治报告》将这场选举评为“倾向民主党”，而弗吉尼亚大学政治中心则将其评为“大概率民主党”。

民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣宣布不寻求连任后，民主党众议员克里斯·帕帕斯与前共和党参议员约翰·苏努努将在新罕布什尔州角逐开放的参议院席位。
现年46岁的帕帕斯自2019年起代表新罕布什尔州在众议院任职。他将自己塑造为独立声音，并以在国会的记录为竞选纲领，他是两党问题解决核心小组的成员。
现年61岁的苏努努曾在众议院和参议院代表新罕布什尔州超过十年，随后被沙欣击败。他是前州长约翰·H·苏努努的儿子，也是前州长克里斯·苏努努的兄弟，其姓氏在新罕布什尔州拥有巨大影响力。
新罕布什尔州自2010年以来就没有选举过共和党人参议院议员，共和党人上一次在该州赢得总统选举还是在2000年。但共和党人自2017年起一直掌控州长职位。《库克政治报告》和弗吉尼亚大学政治中心均将这场选举评为“倾向民主党”。

参议员汤姆·蒂利斯宣布不寻求连任后，前州长罗伊·库珀与前共和党全国委员会主席迈克尔·沃特利将于11月在北卡罗来纳州对决，为这个摇摆州的关键席位展开争夺。
这个“焦油脚跟之州”是民主党人本选举周期内翻转席位的最佳机会。民主党成功招募到了理想的候选人：现年69岁的库珀，两届州长，也是北卡罗来纳州历史上任职时间最长的州总检察长。
现年57岁的沃特利从未竞选过公职。他曾在乔治·W·布什前政府任职，担任前北卡罗来纳州参议员伊丽莎白·多尔的幕僚长，随后担任州共和党主席，并作为共和党全国委员会主席在特朗普的连任竞选中发挥了关键作用。他在总统的鼓励下参选参议院席位，竞选纲领围绕帮助落实特朗普的议程和捍卫保守价值观展开。
北卡罗来纳州自2008年以来就没有选举过民主党参议员，同年该州选民最后一次支持民主党总统候选人。但民主党人认为库珀能够打破这一局面。

民主党参议员蒂娜·史密斯宣布不寻求连任后，副州长佩吉·弗拉纳根与前体育广播员米歇尔·塔福亚将角逐明尼苏达州开放的参议院席位。
现年46岁的弗拉纳根是副州长，曾担任州众议员。她在8月的初选中击败了一名更为温和的候选人，以全民医保等进步派议题为竞选纲领，并获得了伯尼·桑德斯参议员和伊丽莎白·沃伦参议员等人的背书。
现年61岁的塔福亚在共和党初选中击败了一众对手。她以“恢复问责制”为竞选纲领，此前该州发生的多起数百万美元欺诈案引发了公众不满。尽管明尼苏达州自2002年以来就没有选举过共和党人参议院议员，但共和党人希望能有所突破，他们认为这个在2024年仅以4个百分点的差距支持副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的州存在机会。
共和党人认为，可以将弗拉纳根与明尼苏达州州长对该州欺诈案的处理方式联系起来，作为竞选卖点。但明尼苏达州也曾是特朗普政府有争议的移民执法行动的中心，今年1月联邦特工在明尼阿波利斯枪杀了两名美国公民，这一国土安全政策在民主党初选中成为核心议题，预计也将在11月的选举中占据重要地位。
《库克政治报告》和弗吉尼亚大学政治中心均将这场选举评为“大概率民主党”。
共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔正为捍卫自己的席位而战，近几个月来，在中间派民主党人、牧师亚当·汉密尔顿的挑战下，这场选举出人意料地变得竞争激烈。
现年66岁的马歇尔自2017年起代表堪萨斯州在众议院任职，如今正寻求连任参议员。这位第五代堪萨斯人是一名内科医生，曾担任25年妇产科医生，并在美国陆军预备役服役，进入国会后一直坚定支持总统的议程。
现年62岁的汉密尔顿同样是第五代堪萨斯人，领导着美国最大的联合卫理公会教堂。他以民生负担问题为核心竞选纲领，旨在组建跨党派联盟挑战马歇尔。作为知名作家和演讲者，他的高知名度和筹款能力让他成为极具竞争力的对手。
堪萨斯州上一次选举民主党人参议院议员还是在1932年。但近年来，这个“向日葵之州”在州长选举中交替选举民主党和共和党人，目前州长职位由民主党人掌控。

独立候选人丹·奥斯本今年再次挑战共和党现任参议员，试图拿下内布拉斯加州的参议院席位，他在2024年的竞选中仅以个位数差距落败。
现年51岁的奥斯本曾是工会领袖，2024年以7个百分点的差距输给了共和党参议员黛比·费舍尔。如今他正试图挑战2023年被任命进入参议院的前内布拉斯加州州长皮特·里基茨。现年62岁的里基茨在去年的特别选举中轻松获胜，将完成参议员本·萨斯剩余的两年任期。
奥斯本曾表示，如果当选，他将保持独立身份，不计划与共和党或民主党党团结盟。
内布拉斯加州自2006年以来就没有选举过非共和党籍的参议员，该州整体属于坚定的红色州。但该州也拥有大量无党派选民，由于民主党候选人退出竞选，奥斯本有望凭借这部分选民的支持缩小差距。《库克政治报告》和弗吉尼亚大学政治中心均将这场选举评为“大概率共和党”。
12 key races that will determine who controls the Senate
2026-09-09T09:12:00-0400 / CBS News
Washington — The key contests that will determine who wins control of the Senate are now set for the fall midterm elections, as the 2026 primary season wraps up.
Republicans are fighting to hold onto their majority, where the GOP currently controls 53 seats. The map this cycle initially appeared to be working in their favor, since most of the 22 seats the GOP is defending are in states that President Trump won by comfortable margins in 2024. But the unpopular war with Iran and persistent affordability issues have helped make several Republican-held seats increasingly competitive, while Democrats are trying to defend a handful of other seats from possible GOP flips.
To secure a majority, Democrats would need to net four seats in November’s election.
These are the 12 key Senate races to watch:
Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins, left, and Maine Democratic candidate Troy Jackson. Getty Images
The Maine Senate race was closely watched even before personal controversies arose around the Democratic nominee, oyster farmer Graham Platner. In July, he bowed out of the race in the wake of a sexual assault allegation.
Maine Democrats then rallied around Troy Jackson as their nominee to take on GOP Sen. Susan Collins in November, in a race that once appeared to be Democrats’ most straightforward opportunity for a pickup. But the five-term senator has overcome difficult reelection fights in the past, and Democrats’ chaotic primary process could complicate the picture.
Jackson, 58, is a fifth-generation logger who was previously president of the Maine state Senate and bills himself as a champion of the working class. Sen. Bernie Sanders backed Jackson’s failed run for governor — he finished third in the Democratic primary in June.
Collins, 73, has been in the Senate since 1997 and helms the powerful appropriations committee. She’s considered among the most independent minded in the Senate, often breaking with President Trump. But whether that opposition is enough for Mainers, who supported Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, remains to be seen. The Cook Political Report and the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rate the race as a toss-up.
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, left, and GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers. Getty Images
Another marquee Senate race has been playing out in Michigan between former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, a former Michigan health official.
El-Sayed, 41, won a divisive Democratic primary that highlighted a central fight this cycle over the direction of the party. He prevailed last month against a moderate candidate who was backed by national Democrats and who argued that El-Sayed’s views were too far afield in the battleground state. That question will be put to the test as El-Sayed takes on Rogers, who’s had months to refine his general election pitch, since he ran unopposed in the GOP primary.
Rogers, 63, is an Army veteran and former FBI agent who represented Michigan in the House from 2001 to 2015. He ran for Michigan’s other Senate seat in 2024, but lost to Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin by less than 20,000 votes.
Rogers and El-Sayed are running to fill the vacancy left by Democratic Sen. Gary Peters’ retirement. Michigan has flipped between supporting Democrats and Republican presidents in recent elections.
The state last elected a Republican to the Senate in 1994, and Mr. Trump won the state by less than two points in 2024. The Cook Political Report and the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rate the race a toss-up.
GOP Ohio Sen. Jon Husted, left, and, Ohio Senate Democratic candidate Sherrod Brown. Getty Images
In Ohio, former Sen. Sherrod Brown is seeking a return to the Senate as Republican Sen. Jon Husted defends his seat for the first time.
Brown, 73, lost his reelection bid for a fourth term to GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno in 2024, but he has maintained a strong working-class brand and with widespread name recognition in the state, he is considered a formidable opponent.
Husted, 59, previously served as Ohio’s lieutenant governor and secretary of state. He was appointed to the seat last year to replace Vice President JD Vance in the Senate.
Ohioans last elected a Democrat to the Senate in 2018, when Brown won reelection, and the state has backed Republicans in the last three presidential elections. But Democrats see a path to winning, after Brown lost his last race in 2024 by just four points in a state that Mr. Trump won by more than 10 the same year. The Cook Political Report and the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rate the race as a toss-up.
In the Last Frontier state, Sen. Dan Sullivan is seeking to hold onto his Senate seat amid a serious challenge from former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola, while another Dan Sullivan has added a wrinkle to the already competitive race.
In Alaska, the top four vote getters in the primary advance to the general election. And while the sitting senator and Peltola are the front runners in the race, Daniel J. Sullivan (the senator is Daniel S. Sullivan) and Gerald Heikes also advanced to the general election, which will be decided by ranked-choice voting.
The second Sullivan, a former teacher, announced he was challenging the sitting senator in June, prompting an unsuccessful push by the senator to remove him from the ballot. But after the primary results, both Dan Sullivans are set to appear on the ballot, potentially complicating the incumbent senator’s chances.
Sullivan, 61, is a second-term senator and a Marine veteran who worked at the State Department during the George W. Bush administration. His main competition is Peltola, 53, who became the first Democrat to represent the state in the House in 50 years in 2022.
Peltola ultimately lost her reelection bid for Alaska’s sole House seat in 2024, although she fell short by less than three points while Mr. Trump won the state by 13 points. And although Alaska hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 2008, Peltola, the first Alaska Native to serve in Congress, has framed herself as an independent voice for the state. Peltola was the top vote-getter in the August primary.

Democrats are eyeing a long-sought victory in the Lone Star State as Texas state Rep. James Talarico takes on Attorney General Ken Paxton in among the most closely watched races this cycle.
Paxton, 63, defeated Sen. John Cornyn in a runoff for the GOP nomination, ousting the incumbent senator who has represented Texas since 2002 with the support of a last-minute Trump endorsement. Democrats saw their chances improving with Paxton on the ticket this November, given his history of personal controversies and his more conservative positions. And though Republicans remain confident in their chances of holding onto the seat, some concede that the race will be tough — and expensive.
Talarico, 37, is a former teacher and Presbyterian seminarian. Although Texas hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, Democrats are hoping they have a winning candidate in Talarico, who calls himself a progressive Christian. Republicans have seized on previous comments he’s made on issues like veganism and gender, claiming he’s too extreme for Texas, but it remains to be seen whether voters agree.

GOP Rep. Ashley Hinson and Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek will face off in November to represent Iowa in the Senate after GOP Sen. Joni Ernst announced she wouldn’t seek reelection, opening up what’s become a surprisingly competitive race in a state that’s shifted to the right in recent years.
After Ernst’s announcement, Republicans quickly rallied behind Hinson, 43, who has represented Iowa in the House since 2021. The former local news anchor has the president’s endorsement and has vowed to be his “top ally” in the Senate, while campaigning on issues like healthcare, veterans benefits, and fighting corruption.
Turek, 47, is a state representative and former wheelchair basketball Paralympian. And as he aims to flip Iowa’s Senate seat blue this cycle, he’s touting his history as the Democrat representing the most conservative district in the state. On the campaign trail, he points to his record of working across the aisle and pledges to work with the president.
Although Iowa hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 2008, and Mr. Trump won the state by 13 points in 2024, Democrats have been hopeful about their chances, as affordability issues and the Trump tariff policies weigh on Iowans. Democrats also hope that a strong showing from Auditor Rob Sand in the governor’s race could buoy Turek in November. It will be challenging for a Democrat to flip the seat in a state that’s become a Republican stronghold in recent years. The Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss-up, while the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics ranks it as leaning Republican.

GOP Rep. Mike Collins is taking on Sen. Jon Ossoff in Georgia in a competitive race that was once expected to be the easiest pickup opportunity for Republicans.
Ossoff is the sole Democrat seeking reelection in a state that Mr. Trump won in 2024. But a messy Republican primary blunted efforts to launch the general election fight to unseat the first-term senator.
Collins, 59, became the Republican nominee in June after the primary went to a runoff. The owner of a trucking business, Collins has represented Georgia in the House since 2023, and has pitched himself in the Senate race as a staunch ally of the president, while touting his sponsorship of an immigration bill named for Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. At the same time, he’s cast Ossoff as out of touch with Georgian values. But his campaign has also been marked with controversies surrounding people in Collins’ circle, including a former staffer who reportedly shared Nazi and KKK images on social media.
Ossoff, 39, first came to the Senate in 2021, after previously working as a staffer on Capitol Hill and in investigative journalism. At the time, he delivered Democrats one of two runoff victories in Georgia, securing the party’s control of the chamber. Now, Ossoff, a possible 2028 White House hopeful, is fighting to hold onto the seat in a state that shifted toward the right during the last election.
Georgians haven’t elected a Republican to the Senate since 2016. And Democrats see Collins’ closeness to the president as a possible boon for Ossoff amid the unpopular war with Iran and other White House policies. The Cook Political Report rates the race as leaning Democrat, while the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rates the race as likely Democrat.

Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas and former GOP Sen. John Sununu are vying for an open Senate seat in New Hampshire after Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen opted not to seek reelection in the Granite State.
Pappas, 46, has represented New Hampshire in the House since 2019. He’s billed himself as an independent voice and campaigned on his record in Congress, where he’s a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus.
Sununu, 61, represented New Hampshire in the House and Senate for more than a decade, before he was ousted by Shaheen. The son of former Gov. John H. Sununu and brother of former Gov. Chris Sununu, his name carries significant weight in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire hasn’t elected a Republican to the Senate since 2010, and a Republican hasn’t won in the state at the presidential level since 2000. But Republicans have controlled the governor’s mansion since 2017. The Cook Political Report and the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rate the race as leaning Democrat.

Former Gov. Roy Cooper and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley will face off in North Carolina in November after Sen. Thom Tillis announced he wouldn’t seek reelection, opening up a key seat in the competitive state.
The Tar Heel State offers a key prize for Democrats, representing their best chance at flipping a seat this cycle. And the party secured their dream recruit in Cooper, 69, a two-term governor and the longest-serving state attorney general in North Carolina’s history.
Whatley, 57, has never run for office. He worked in former President George W. Bush’s administration and as chief of staff for former North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole before serving as chairman of the state Republican Party and going on to play a key role in Mr. Trump’s reelection effort as RNC chair. He entered the Senate race with the president’s encouragement and has campaigned on helping enact Mr. Trump’s agenda and fighting for conservative values.
North Carolina hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 2008, the same year voters in the state last supported a Democrat at the presidential level. But Democrats think Cooper can break that streak.

Minnesota U.S. Senate candidates: Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, left, and Republican Michele Tafoya. Getty Images
Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya are vying for an open Senate seat representing Minnesota, after Democratic Sen. Tina Smith opted not to seek reelection in the North Star state.
Flanagan, 46, is the lieutenant governor and a former state representative. She won the Democratic primary in August against a more moderate candidate, running on progressive priorities like Medicare for All and securing endorsements from the likes of Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Tafoya, 61, beat out a crowded field for the GOP nomination. She’s campaigned on restoring accountability as multimillion-dollar fraud schemes have rattled the state. And although Minnesota hasn’t elected a Republican to the Senate since 2002, the GOP is hoping to make inroads as they seek to hold onto control of the chamber next year, seeing some opportunity in a state that former Vice President Kamala Harris won by just four points in 2024.
Republicans see a possible winning argument with Flanagan being tied to the Minnesota governor’s handling of the fraud schemes in the state. But Minnesota has also been at the center of the Trump administration’s controversial immigration crackdown, which saw the fatal shootings of two American citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis in January. The homeland security policies played a big role in the Democratic primary and will likely remain top of mind in November.
The Cook Political Report and the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rate the race as likely Democrat.
GOP Sen. Roger Marshall is defending his seat in a race that has appeared to become surprisingly competitive in recent months amid a challenge from Rev. Adam Hamilton, a centrist Democrat.
Marshall, 66, is seeking a second term in the Senate after representing Kansas in the House since 2017. The fifth-generation Kansan is a medical doctor who worked for 25 years as an OB-GYN and served in the U.S. Army Reserves before coming to Capitol Hill, where he’s been a reliable supporter of the president’s agenda.
Hamilton, 62, is also a fifth-generation Kansan who leads the U.S.’ largest United Methodist church. He’s running on an affordability-focused agenda, while aiming to bring together a cross-party coalition to take on Marshall. And as a well-known author and speaker, his high profile and fundraising chops have made him a formidable opponent.
Kansas last elected a Democrat to the Senate in 1932. But the Sunflower state has regularly oscillated between electing Democrats and Republicans in gubernatorial races in recent decades, and currently has a Democrat in the governor’s mansion.

Independent candidate Dan Osborn is making a second attempt to unseat a Republican incumbent in Nebraska’s Senate race this year, after losing his bid by single digits in 2024.
Osborn, 51, a former union leader lost to GOP Sen. Deb Fischer by seven points in 2024. Now he’s attempting to unseat Sen. Pete Ricketts, the former Nebraska governor who was appointed to the Senate in 2023. Ricketts, 62, easily won his bid in a special election last year to serve out the remaining two years of Sen. Ben Sasse’s term.
Osborn has said if he wins, he would remain independent and does not plan to caucus with either Republicans or Democrats.
Nebraskans haven’t elected a candidate who wasn’t a Republican since 2006, and the state is solidly red. But it’s also home to a large share of nonpartisan voters, who could make the race within striking distance for Osborn, given that the Democratic candidate withdrew from the race. The Cook Political Report and University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rate the race as likely Republican.
