Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island is bidding for a fourth term in the U.S. Senate, positioning himself against Republican challenger Patricia Morgan.

The campaign has brought to light contrasting visions, with Whitehouse advocating for environmental policies and the preservation of Medicare and Social Security. In response, Morgan criticizes his tax policies, aimed at heightening rates for higher earners, as detrimental to the economy.
