As DNC vice-chairman David Hogg tries to spend millions of money on older Democrats in the Blue District, the Senate Republican campaign unit has suggested it is taking the opposite tact than in the middle of 2026.
“No one should place personal ambitions on the president's legacy and those who protect the majority as Democrats like John Ossoff are openly calling for President Trump to be fire each,” Joanna Rodriguez, communications director of the National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC), told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
“Leader (John) Tune and Chairman (Tim) Scott have made it clear that the NRSC goal is to protect President Trump's majority in the Senate, and we know that Mike Rogers and John Cornyn are the best candidates to do that in their respective races.”
This issue has arisen as former Michigan Congressman, who are seeking Senator Gary Peters and incumbent Texas Senators, may see substantial major challenges.
The Senate did not reject Trump's national emergency on tariffs as a split among Republicans.

NRSC officials reportedly told donors during a conference call Tuesday that according to Axios, those trying to support Senate races in both states should only give to Rogers and Cornyn.
When it was reached, NRSC officials did not sway digitally from that report from Fox News Digital.
R-Mich. Rep. Bill Huizenga of the company is considering running Peters' seats, while Rep. Wesley Hunt of R-Texas is doing the same thing in Lone Star State, according to several reports.
According to Axios, NRSC Political Director Brendan Jaspers said no candidates other than Rogers and Cornyn (a candidate other than “declaration or attitude” should be supported by substantive donors unless they decide to hold a seat for the majority of representatives of the Republican Party.

A Huizenga spokesman told Fox News Digital: “Remember that Michigan voters have the ultimate say.”
“We've been hearing from grassroots activists, major Republican voters and donors, both here in Michigan and across the country looking for alternatives. Sadly, insiders in Washington seem to prefer predictable candidates regardless of success.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the DNC for comments from Hogg about Republicans shaping their campaign strategy in contrast to his own.
“Republicans are clearly so afraid of losing their seats in a very unpopular agenda, that the leaders are urging House members not to run for top offices,” a DNC spokesman told Fox News Digital.
“Republicans must fear losing elections as they push forward with budget bills that cut down critical programs for hard-working Americans to pay billionaires' tax handouts.

Hogg's strategy infuriated party elders, including Bill Clinton's best friend James Kerrville.
However, Kerrville then seemed to soften his stance and compare Hogg to Ulysses S. Grant by referring to the popular anecdote that President Abraham Lincoln defended grants for his firing after the Battle of Shiro in 1862.
For the purposes of this story, Hunt's office could not be reached for comment.
