Three Senate races to watch in November
Senate races in Georgia, Arizona and New Hampshire are competitive battles between established Democratic nominees and newer Republican nominees backed by former US President Donald Trump. In Georgia, Senator Raphael Warnock is up against newcomer Herschel Walker, an anti-abortion Republican nominee. However, Walker's campaign is steeped in controversy after a former girlfriend and mother to one of his children came forth and alleged that Walker paid for her abortion nearly a decade ago. The allegation has mired Walker's messaging heading into the crucial final month before the elections. Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard says Walker vehenmently denies the allegation and says it is a fabrication. "He is adamant in saying that this is not something that is factual, and he really is trying to deflect and take attention away from what has become sort of the biggest narrative in this campaign right now," Kinnard says. On the other side of the country, Democrat Mark Kelly is facing off against Blake Masters, a Republican nominee whose messaging aligns with Trump. Associated Press reporter Jonathan Cooper covers the race in Arizona and says Kelly's popularity amongst his party has put him in a strong position against Masters.
