According to POLITICO, there are several House seats where the GOP is vulnerable – like Rep. Mike Garcia in California’s 25th Congressional District – where no money is being spent. House Democrats are panicking over the decision to leave Republicans like Garcia virtually untouched in a year where the data is still indicating a major red wave.
The decision, according to those involved, was driven by a relative lack of resources: As Republicans’ biggest House super PAC floods the election with hundreds of millions of dollars, their Democratic counterparts have lagged far behind. Some members of the California Democratic delegation were alarmed by the decision to leave Garcia’s district untouched — and they have urged their party’s campaign arm in recent weeks not to abandon a seat that President Joe Biden won by double digits, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.
Similar pleas are coming from Texas, Pennsylvania and elsewhere, as frustrated Democrats bemoan that their party’s outside groups are unable — or, some say privately, unwilling — to devote precious funds toward what they see as winnable seats.
House Democrats’ panic has escalated this month as GOP outside groups continued to smash fundraising records. Despite high candidate fundraising, Democrats have been unable to respond with the same volume of money, and the party has struggled to free up the resources to attack potentially endangered Republican incumbents — a crucial part of their strategy, since they need to offset expected losses in more conservative Democratic-held districts.
Quite obviously this has been a change from earlier in the year when Democrats outspent the GOP by very large margins in several special elections across the country. While they did well in some of those races (and not so well in others) there was never a lack of interest or funding from these same Democratic groups.
Without the House, they have no ability to pass anything. It will be their turn to be under investigation heading into the 2024 election as a GOP house would no doubt reinvestigate the Jan 6th situation (and the security failures) as well as Hunter Biden, the investigation into Hunter Biden, the quid-pro-quo situation with OPEC, the FBI, and many other things.
Because lets be honest here folks... The true corruption is with the people who have been in charge and investigating everyone but themselves. That worm is very likely about to turn.
