House Republican campaign manager Rich Hudson warned his party in a phone call Thursday that Democrats are “on the cusp” of winning the House majority.
He noted that in the weeks since Kamala Harris topped the list, they’ve raised a lot of money.
“We still have a great opportunity to grow our majority. But the Democrats are at the gate — they’ve raised hundreds of millions of dollars in the last few weeks. If we want to achieve our goal of growing our majority, you have to want it,” Hudson said, as first reported by Punchbowl.
The House Democrats’ campaign arm, the DCCC, raised $44 million more in the past quarter than the Republicans’, the NRCC, at $37 million.
House Republican campaign manager Rich Hudson warned his party during a phone call Thursday that Democrats are “on the cusp” of winning the House majority.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) had its biggest online fundraising day of the campaign, raising nearly $1 million in the 24 hours after Harris took the top spot from Biden.
GOP leaders promised more money on the call, with Chairman Mike Johnson announcing he would send $4 million, bringing his total this cycle to $20 million since becoming chairman, his team told DailyMail.com.
He is currently traveling through 20 states in the country.
JL Partners surveyed 1,001 likely voters from August 7-11, using a mix of online, landline, mobile and in-app techniques. The results come with a margin of error of +/- 3.1 points
Voter attitudes were tested with a fully online poll of 1,054 likely voters
A FiveThirtyEight poll found that Americans overall favor Democrats over Republicans in Congress, 46.3 percent to 45.2 percent.
Control of the House will be a contentious battle in November. Democrats were confident they would take the House before Biden’s cognitive decline became fully apparent during the Trump-Biden debate. Republicans were confident they had a chance for Biden afterward and before Biden withdrew from the race.
A poll conducted this week for DailyMail.com found that Vice President Kamala Harris has closed the gap on former President Donald Trump, but still trails him by two points.
Other recent polls show the vice president rapidly gaining popularity, but our survey of 1,001 likely voters shows that 43 percent would vote for Trump if the election were held tomorrow. For Harris, 41 percent would vote.
With a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, there is a good chance that the November elections will be thrilling.
James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners, which conducted the poll, said there were still many positives for Trump in the poll, despite a difficult time.
“Don’t get us wrong. Harris has made great strides, particularly among young voters and blacks, and she has begun to close the gap with independents.
But Trump has an edge among his base, which remains energized and holds its position among whites, Latinos and voters over 50.
“Harris’ strongest support remains relatively limited to 18- to 49-year-olds. Much of this is due to Trump’s dominance on the economy and the border.”
