House Democratic primaries are drawing in record donations despite an expected loss in the midterm elections.
Super PACs and other nonprofit organizations have donated more than $53 million to House Democratic races as of Monday, according to OpenSecrets. This is nearly twice as much as in recent elections, where only $30 million was spent on primaries in 2018 and 2020.The majority of spending appears to be focused on districts that Democrats control, according to Politico.
Television ads have been a particular focus to date. At least $25.8 million has been spent on TV ads in the Democratic House primaries, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. This is more than double the $10.4 million spent on ads for Democratic House primaries in 2020.
