Democrats trounced Republicans in third-quarter fundraising in what are anticipated to be the closest House races of the 2024 campaign.
Of the 32 contests identified by Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales as either tilting in a direction or a pure toss-up, Republicans led the fundraising in just two of them. And all told, Democrats had $82.9 million in receipts in those races, compared with just $37.6 million for the Republicans.
About $5.4 million of that disparity comes from just one race: the battle for Virginia’s 7th District, which Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., is vacating to mount a full-time run for governor of the commonwealth in 2025. Democratic candidate Eugene Vindman pulled in $6.5 million compared to Republican Derrick Anderson’s $1.1 million.
Vindman has been a small-dollar fundraising machine, bringing in $8.9 million this cycle in less than $200 increments. He’s the twin brother of Alexander Vindman, both of whom were relevant characters in the first impeachment proceedings against former president (and current GOP nominee) Donald Trump.
