Democrats are making several Republican strongholds competitive in the Nov. 3 Senate election, which could widen the map of the 2028 presidential battleground.

Democrats are making several Republican strongholds competitive in the Nov. 3 Senate election, which could widen the map of the 2028 presidential battleground.

Trump won all six states by double digits in 2024, but dissatisfaction with his administration, high prices and controversial Republican candidates helped Democrats narrow the gap.

Republicans see the trend as temporary, while former Obama strategist David Axelrod says Democrats' chances in 2028 depend on finding a candidate who appeals to rural and center-right voters.
