Summary
At a private fundraiser Wednesday night, Barack Obama said Democrats' Senate map has widened enough that states he "would not have imagined" are now competitive.
Obama still urged donors not to grow complacent, framing the unexpectedly broader battlefield as an opportunity that could be lost without sustained effort.
The remarks point to a more favorable 2026 midterm landscape for Democrats, even as party leaders continue pressing supporters to treat the races as highly contested.
