Recent reporting and announcements directly related to this race and its candidates.
The biggest update is a new poll showing Chris Jones narrowly ahead of French Hill, though still within the margin of error. Jones is also getting a high-profile campaign stop from Pete Buttigieg and has been attacking Hill over WIC funding cuts. A recent Democratic special-election win in Arkansas has added to the sense of a potentially tighter race. The poll and Buttigieg visit may modestly improve Democratic sentiment, but the race still looks close and the poll is within the margin of error. Overall uncertainty remains high.
