Former President Donald Trump warned Republican Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz about potentially tough reelection battles in Missouri and Texas, respectively.
The impetus behind the warning was not immediately clear, but it was noted that Democrats were eyeing these Senate races.
The 2024 Senatorial election heavily favors Republicans, with Democrats defending 20 seats compared to Republicans defending half that number. (Trending: LeBron James Shares Gun Advice For Americans)
“So interesting that the Democrats are looking hard at the Senate races in both Missouri and Texas,” Trump wrote.
“Josh and Ted must be very careful, stranger things have happened!!!” he said.
Several Democratic incumbents have announced their retirements, potentially impacting the election landscape.
Democratic pollsters have highlighted Texas and Florida as potential opportunities for the party to pick up seats, but acknowledged the challenges in these races.
“Hold the incumbents, that’s my main focus,” Michigan Sen. Gary Peters said.
“We obviously want to pick up as many seats as we possibly can … if there’s an opportunity to win, we’re going to take it,” he added.
“The 2024 Senate map was always going to be tough for Democrats and Manchin resigning makes it harder,” Democratic pollster Carly Cooperman said.
“Texas and Florida are the two opportunities Democrats have for picking up seats next cycle, but both of those races will be tough,” she added.
