Senate Democrats ramp up campaign efforts in Texas and Florida to secure majority

Senate Democrats are increasing their efforts in Texas and Florida to maintain their majority. They announced a multi-million dollar investment in television ads for the upcoming Senate races, focusing on Republican incumbents Ted Cruz and Rick Scott. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chair Gary Peters emphasized that this spending will not detract from support for vulnerable Senator Jon Tester in Montana. He expressed confidence in the competitiveness of the Texas and Florida races, citing previous close elections. Democrats believe a Florida abortion referendum could boost their candidates. The proposed Amendment 4 would allow abortions until viability, which they hope will energize voters and improve their chances in the state.
