Republicans pour cash into dozens of US House races previously seen as ‘safe’

·South China Morning Post·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

Republicans are pouring money into dozens of US House races that were previously considered safe for their candidates. This shift in strategy is a response to internal polling that suggests these seats may be more vulnerable than thought in the November 3 election. The increased spending is already being seen in advertising reservations and campaign finance filings, indicating a growing concern among Republican operatives. This development could potentially shake up the US House of Representatives election landscape, making some seats more competitive than previously expected.
