RNC Puts $50M Into Midterm Races as Campaigns Enter Final Stretch in Michigan, Minnesota, Florida

The Republican National Committee is putting more than $50 million into efforts to defend its House and Senate majorities in the final two weeks before Election Day, according to a New York Times report first published Tuesday. The money is being transferred to groups that run efforts to boost GOP House and Senate candidates.

Elsewhere, campaigns are moving into their closing stretch. Michigan has Senate and governor's races under way, with a Fox News town hall, a second Senate debate and the start of early in-person voting all scheduled this week. Minnesota's Senate race and Florida's governor and Senate races are also drawing attention, as is President Trump's messaging to voters.

The outlets do not contradict one another; they differ in emphasis. Left-leaning coverage, from CBS News, leads with analysis of Trump's messaging and updates on the Minnesota and Florida races, relying on its own correspondents. The alternative source, The Hill, leads with the RNC spending and cites the Times. The right-leaning Daily Signal centers on Michigan, describing the week's events and the stakes for Senate control and the governorship.
