- 在挑战者中，民主党在摇摆选区拥有筹款优势
- 共和党在众议院以微弱优势领先，参议院在中期选举前
- 选区重划和政治行动委员会支出可能影响11月的国会选举结果
路透社华盛顿2月23日电 – 路透社对竞选财务报告的分析显示，距离至关重要的中期选举还有九个月，民主党候选人到目前为止在最具竞争力的美国众议院选区中，筹款额超过了共和党候选人。
根据1月份发布的联邦报告，无论政党如何，摇摆选区的现任议员都明显领先于其挑战者，去年筹集了超过8400万美元。

但路透社对30个最具竞争力的现任议员寻求连任的选区披露信息进行的审查发现，与挑战共和党现任议员的民主党挑战者相比，共和党挑战者在从捐赠者那里筹集资金方面面临困难。
去年，在16个民主党控制的选区中，42名共和党候选人筹集了约2000万美元，平均每人约46.5万美元，而在14个共和党控制的选区中，54名民主党候选人筹集了约5000万美元，平均每人近91.8万美元。
共和党在众议院以218-214的微弱优势领先。控制白宫的政党在中期选举中历来会失利，民主党只需要在11月翻转几个席位，就能在唐纳德·特朗普总统任期的最后两年获得对众议院的控制权。
在三个没有现任议员寻求连任的摇摆选区中，民主党都具有筹款优势。
这些报告显示了可能决定众议院控制权的选区的竞选财务状况，主要选举季将于3月3日开始，得克萨斯州、北卡罗来纳州和阿肯色州将首先投票。
民主党战略家表示，众议院共和党人更专注于保住他们的微弱多数席位，而非扩大多数席位，将成员留任置于候选人招募之上。
“鉴于共和党人在过去一年一直声称他们在进攻，但令人惊讶的是，他们今年的招募工作如此薄弱，”民主党超级政治行动委员会“众议院多数行动委员会”的发言人Katarina Flicker表示。“在全国竞争激烈的民主党控制席位中，共和党人难以推出有说服力的候选人。”

共和党现任议员在筹款方面“绝对主导民主党”
全国共和党国会委员会发言人Mike Marinella表示，共和党现任议员整体上在筹款和选民关心的问题上“绝对主导民主党”。
“这充分说明，当全国民主党人不得不挑选零碎的数据来说服自己他们在竞争时，他们是多么绝望，”Marinella说。
至少有31名众议院共和党人将在明年年初退休或寻求更高职位而 vacate their seats。众议院民主党竞选机构DCCC正瞄准其中6个席位，尽管政治分析师预计只有3个席位具有竞争力。
众议院和参议院的控制权将分别由近30个选区和8个关键州的选举结果决定。共和党在参议院以53-47的优势领先。
其他因素——例如几个州在中期重新划定国会选区，以及政治委员会、全国政党和超级政治行动委员会的支出——可能对11月国会选举的结果产生重大影响。

- Among challengers, Democrats have fundraising edge in battleground districts
- Republicans hold narrow majority in House, Senate ahead of midterm elections
- Redistricting and PAC spending could impact November’s congressional election outcomes
WASHINGTON, Feb 23 (Reuters) – Democratic candidates so far have outraised Republican hopefuls in the most competitive districts for the U.S. House of Representatives with crucial mid-term elections nine months away, according to a Reuters analysis of campaign finance reports.
Incumbents in battleground districts, regardless of party, have a clear edge over their challengers, hauling in more than $84 million last year, according to federal reports released in January.

But a Reuters review of disclosures in 30 of the most competitive districts where incumbents are seeking reelection found that Republican challengers have struggled to raise money from donors when compared to Democratic challengers taking on Republican incumbents.
Forty-two Republican candidates in 16 Democratic-held districts last year collected some $20 million, about $465,000 each, while 54 Democratic candidates in 14 Republican-held districts hauled in around $50 million, nearly $918,000 each.
Republicans hold a narrow 218-214 majority in the House. The party that controls the White House historically suffers losses in midterm elections, and Democrats would only need to flip a handful of seats in November to gain control of the chamber for the final two years of Donald Trump’s presidency.

Democrats have a fundraising edge in each of the three battleground districts in which there is no incumbent seeking reelection.
The reports show the financial picture of campaigns in the districts that will likely determine control of the House heading into the primary election season, which begins March 3 with votes in Texas, North Carolina and Arkansas.
Democratic strategists say House Republicans are more focused on preserving their small majority than expanding it, prioritizing member retention over candidate recruitment.
“Given the fact that Republicans have claimed for the last year that they’re on offense, one could be shocked to learn how weak their recruitment has been this cycle,” said Katarina Flicker, a spokesperson for the Democratic super PAC House Majority PAC. “In competitive, Democratic-held seats across the country, Republicans are struggling to field credible candidates.”

REPUBLICANS CLAIM ADVANTAGE AMONG INCUMBENTS
Mike Marinella, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said GOP incumbents as a whole “are absolutely dominating Democrats” in fundraising and on issues voters care about.
“It says a lot about the national Democrats’ desperation when they have to cherry-pick scraps of data to convince themselves they’re competing,” Marinella said.
At least 31 House Republicans will vacate their seats early next year after retiring or seeking higher office. The DCCC, House Democrats’ campaign arm, is targeting six of those seats, though only three are expected by political analysts to be competitive.
Control of the House and Senate will be determined by races in nearly three dozen districts and eight key states, respectively. The Republicans have a 53-47 edge in the Senate.
Other factors — such as the mid-decade redraw of congressional districts in several states and spending by political committees, national parties and super PACs — could play a significant role in the outcome of November’s congressional elections.
