Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives who are at the highest risk of losing their seats swept in a massive amount of campaign cash in the first three months of the year—an early sign that the party could maintain control of the chamber in the November elections.—mostly first-term members who in 2018 flipped districts won by President Donald Trump—on average outraised their Republican challengers threefold.
Overall, DCCC outraised its GOP counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee , with $17 million compared with $15 million in February, the most recent data available for the groups. The DCCC in 2019 outraised the NRCC by $40 million.Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi joins Rep.
