Ashley Hinson remains a strong contender. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rove also pointed to the state\u2019s gubernatorial race, where Democratic candidate Rob Sand is expected to boost turnout. Describing Sand as \u201ca terrific candidate,\u201d Rove suggested the governor\u2019s race could help Democrats improve their chances down the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Rove\u2019s comments come as election analysts have begun to view Iowa as more competitive. The Cook Political Report recently shifted its rating of Iowa\u2019s Senate race from \u201cLikely Republican\u201d to \u201cLean Republican,\u201d indicating a closer contest than previously anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran Republican strategist also warned his party against underestimating Democrats in Ohio, where former Sen. Sherrod Brown is seeking a political comeback against Sen. Jon Husted. <\/p>\n<p>Rove praised Brown as a strong candidate with a proven track record, saying Republicans are \u201cin for a battle in Ohio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While expressing skepticism about some polls showing Brown with a significant lead, Rove acknowledged that Democrats have fielded one of their strongest possible candidates in the state. <\/p>\n<p>He predicted the race would remain highly competitive, describing it as \u201ca horserace, no doubt about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>It comes as polls have put the Democrats ahead of the Republicans heading into November\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>The latest New York Times\/Siena poll showed Democrats leading Republicans by 11 points in the race for Congress, 50 percent to 39 percent among registered voters.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=993\">New Report Exposes Troubling Reality for America\u2019s Kids<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And some Republicans fear that is because Trump, who has dismissed concerns over rising gas prices connected to his war in Iran, is prioritizing his own agenda over efforts to strengthen the party\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>And that has put the GOP in a vulnerable position, Rep. Thomas Massie, who has been one of Trump\u2019s biggest opponents in the party and lost his own primary against a Trump-backed candidate in Kentucky, told NBC News this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s true, you can take out Republicans in primaries, but Republicans are going to be very vulnerable this fall,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Rove warned last month that Trump\u2019s \u201cdangerously low\u201d approval rating could sink Republicans\u2019 midterm hopes.<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of polls have put Trump\u2019s approval rating at an all-time low.<\/p>\n<p>Rove cited Trump\u2019s erratic Truth Social posts, which have drawn scrutiny over not only their content, but their timing and frequency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president comes across more as a heckler at a UFC match than as a reassuring wartime commander in chief,\u201d Rove wrote in a Wall Street Journal column.<\/p>\n<p>Trump lashed out at Rove last week in a Truth Social post. \u201cFox News should get rid of sloppy RINO Karl Rove,\u201d Trump wrote, using the acronym for \u201cRepublican in name only.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s called ME and MAGA wrong for 11 years now, and he still doesn\u2019t get it, and he never will, because he suffers from a completely inoperable, and totally dysfunctional, case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cPut Karl Rove out to pasture, NOW,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cHe is a LOSER, and he always will be!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=991\">Stabbing at Penn Station Leaves 5 Injured<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican strategist Karl Rove is warning that Democrats have put Republicans on notice in two key states in the battle for control of the Senate.
