Republicans Enter the Midterms' Final Month With $1 Billion and Doubts
PBS NewsHour reports that Republicans are entering the final month of the midterm campaign anxious that the $1 billion at their disposal may not be enough to fend off sweeping losses, as the party reckons with President Donald Trump's unpopularity, persistent cost concerns and the fallout from the war in Iran. The reported worry is not simply a shortage of cash; it is cash up against a set of headwinds the party is still working out how to answer.
