Washington Post: “Trump’s 3,400-mile trip to this ruby-red pocket of a GOP-leaning state — Wasilla, the home of former governor and vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin — shows how urgently his party needs to mobilize its base to keep control of the Senate.”“With Republicans all but writing off their chances of winning Senate races in states such as North Carolina and Georgia, Alaska has become a crucial battleground this fall. Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan is facing a challenge from former Democratic congresswoman Mary Peltola, and the two are neck and neck.”“Trump’s political team has effectively given up on trying to win back the swing voters that helped propel him to the White House in 2024, focusing instead on ginning up turnout in Republican strongholds to offset higher Democratic enthusiasm.”Semafor: Trump crosses country in bid to save midterms.
