WOW. Republicans aren't just "CONCERNED" about future races. Now, they're "SERIOUSLY CONCERNED."

'How you lose a race': GOP airs 'serious concern' as Democrats make waves in red states

https://www.rawstory.com/gop-special-elections/

Republican Party officials have a "serious concern" that Democrats could make huge gains in typically red states.

Lower polling numbers than expected for the GOP and candidates who are, according to insiders, not taking their races seriously, are worrying Republicans running election campaigns this year. A special election Tuesday in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District could be an indicator of how the 2026 midterms will turn out — and GOP members worry it's leaning towards a Democrat sweep.

Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries suggested the party had been "over-performing" in parts of the country that Trump's administration had flipped in the 2024 election.

He told NOTUS, "Democrats have been over-performing the 2024 Trump numbers since the very beginning of his presidency, starting in late January in Iowa, where we flipped a district that Donald Trump had just won."

...they make SUSAN COLLINS' "concern" look like APATHY.

THAT'S how "concerned" they are. They don't intend to do a damned thing about it. They will keep screwing over their voters and wonder why they are hemorrhaging votes. But they're "seriously concerned."
