One Nation Reserves $39 Million for Ohio and Iowa Senate TV Ads as Democrats Outraise GOP Candidates

One Nation is reserving $28 million in television advertising in Ohio and $11 million in Iowa, with the spots scheduled to begin Wednesday and continue through the summer, according to plans obtained by Axios. The reservations mark an escalation in Republican efforts to defend Senate seats in states President Trump carried by double digits in 2024.

One Nation executive director Alex Latcham told donors on a June 1 conference call that the group also intends to spend roughly $100 million on Democrat-held seats in New Hampshire, Georgia and Michigan while doubling down on GOP-held seats in Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, Maine and North Carolina.

One Nation is additionally reserving $6 million for New Hampshire, where Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is retiring. Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas is expected to face former Republican Sen. John Sununu there.

Thune's political operation is planning more than $400 million in total spending, most of it routed through the Senate Leadership Fund super PAC. In Ohio, Sen. Jon Husted faces former Democratic Sen.

Sherrod Brown, who has outraised Husted by more than 2 to 1. In Iowa, Rep. Ashley Hinson is running against state Rep. Josh Turek. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to take control of the Senate.

In Maine, Sen. Susan Collins faces Democratic candidate Graham Platner, who has denied accusations of sexual misconduct. President Trump lost Maine by 7 points in 2024. "One Nation is proud to highlight the many conservative policies that have provided meaningful results for working families," Latcham said in a statement.
