Vulnerable Sen Democrats Among Highest Fundraisers Ahead Of Tough 2024 Map

US

Axios has published a report showing that the three most vulnerable Senate Democrats of the 2024 cycle are all amongst the top 10 highest fundraisers in the chamber.

  • Axios: “The new FEC data shows that Democrats' most vulnerable candidates have plenty to spend after posting strong Q2 fundraising figures. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who has not officially launched his re-election campaign and has teased a third-party presidential run, ranks second among prospective Senate candidates. Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) are also in the top 10 for cash on hand.”
  • NYT: "Democrats’ relative financial strength in the second quarter of an off year suggests significant energy as the party aims to protect its slim majority next year."
  • Democrats currently have a one-seat margin in the Senate but are projected to have no credible pickup opportunities in 2024 - barring an unforeseen political shift. To maintain control of the Senate, Democrats must, at a minimum, win 2/3 of West Virginia, Montana, and Ohio.
