The House battleground for 2024 is closely split, as is the chamber itself. But being in the majority may be helping endangered Republicans get an advantage in fundraising, new filings with the Federal Election Commission show.
The 33 Republican incumbents in battleground races — defined as those rated Toss-up, Tilt, Lean or Likely by Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonazales — raised a combined $19.1 million, compared with $14.7 million for the 31 Democratic incumbents with similar races ahead, a CQ Roll Call analysis found.
The average Republican in the group raised $580,000 to the average Democrat’s $529,000, and when the quarter ended the average Republican had nearly $1.5 million in their account to the average Democrat’s $1 million.
