## Resource

The Senate runoff is heating up with low turnout expected, as Republicans focus on energizing core supporters around issues like carbon capture, while Democrats aim for broader appeal with coastal protection, climate, and education. Julia Letlow, backed by Trump and a strong first-round showing, leads the GOP. For Democrats, Jamie Davis, who earned nearly 40% in the last election, is the frontrunner. The race hinges on whether targeted strategies can mobilize enough voters to secure victory. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
