The latest fundraising reports came out yesterday, giving a clearer picture on the state of the races. D candidates raised more in most competitive districts. Many of them were flooded with contributions from out of state. Five D challengers got more then 10000 (!) individual contributions. Breen in 38 got 22633, Pulver in 39 got 19322, Anness in 45 got 22845, Morse in 61 got 17797, and O'Neil in 104 got 10032. Which national group is organizing this?
Thankfully, the HRCC is spending big in key districts. They are spending in districts 19, 38, 39, 45, 48, 61, 71, 96, 98, 104. They are not spending in districts 20, 25, 41, 62 (likely to stay D) and 91, 99, 110 (likely to stay R).
I have moved 39 to tossup, 41 to safe D, and 96 to lean D based on the latest reports.
