Vulnerable House Republicans running in some of the toughest races of the 2024 cycle outraised the most at-risk Democrats over the last three months, marking the second consecutive fundraising quarter the group of endangered GOP candidates was able to do so.
Both parties’ fundraising arms unveiled their top targets for the 2024 election cycle earlier this year, focusing their efforts on some of the most expensive midterm races that saw members win by only a slim margin. Democrats have a list of 33 target seats they hope to seize control of next year, with Republicans homing in on 37. Both lists have two open seats where the incumbents are not running for reelection.
The report indicates some momentum for vulnerable Republicans, who have historically raised less money than House Democrats when taking all races into account. For example, the DCCC raised a record-breaking $37.7 million during the first quarter of this year, besting the NRCC, which raised $25.8 million.
Democrats have also pointed to a significant portion of the GOP fundraising that came directly from committees tied to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy , suggesting the strong fundraising numbers being reported by vulnerable Republicans are slightly inflated. McCarthy transferred an average of $103,000 per vulnerable member directly to their campaigns, according to data compiled by the DCCC.
“Vulnerable Republicans who’ve kowtowed to the most extreme members of their party such as Marjorie Taylor Greene know how endangered they are and that voters will hold them accountable,” Shelton said.
