John Kennedy Just Named Three States Republicans Never Thought They’d Have to Defend

Democrats need four Republican seats to hand Chuck Schumer the Senate.

John Kennedy hit the campaign trail.

And John Kennedy made an admission about three red states that should have every Republican on edge.

As American Patriot Daily reports:

Democrats need to win four Republican-held seats to flip the majority in the United States Senate.

A Chuck Schumer-controlled Senate means the end of Trump’s presidency.

And at the outset of the cycle, both parties thought they knew the terrain, with the key races taking place in Alaska, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, and Maine.

But thanks to GOP establishment sabotage in Texas and RINOs muscling through a weak candidate in Iowa, those two states are now on the board.

And two more ruby red citadels are now in play thanks to Senate Republicans depressing the Trump base enthusiasm by refusing to pass the SAVE Act, as Louisiana Senator John Kennedy announced he was taking the worrisome step of campaigning for Republican incumbents running for re-election in Kansas and Nebraska.

“We’ve got to talk about the economy. We’ve got to talk about the cost of living,” Kennedy said. “This weekend, I’m going to Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa to help raise money and campaign for our very good candidates. If you told me six months ago I was going to be having to spend my time in those three states, I wouldn’t have believed you. Those oughta be fat guy layups for us. Now we’re gonna win there. But the races are close,” Kennedy told reporters.

Those races have shifted in the Democrats’ direction after the Senate rejected Trump’s call to abolish the filibuster and pass the SAVE Act.

“Cook Political Report rates the races in Kansas and Nebraska as “likely” Republican holds and Iowa as a “toss-up.” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is aiming to fend off a challenge from Democratic pastor Adam Hamilton, while Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) will face independent challenger Dan Osborn, Mediaite reports.

New polls show Kansas Senator Roger Marshall and Nebraska incumbent Pete Ricketts trailing their Democratic opponents.

President Trump ended Iowa’s status as a swing state by winning it three times in landslide fashion.

But without Trump on the ballot, RINOs running on their own are in trouble.

Establishment-backed Senate GOP nominee Ashley Hinson refused to appear at a campaign event with Vice President J.D. Vance.

And Iowa Representatives Zach Nunn and Mary Miller-Meeks voted with Democrats on a War Powers Act resolution to end the Iran War.

Republicans are confronting a tough political environment in 2026.

John Kennedy let voters know just how difficult it is.
