GOP pulls money from House races as Democrats gain ground

Oct 14, 2026

Republicans are retreating from a growing list of House districts three weeks before the midterms, a clear warning sign for the party and a boost for Democrats.

  • Fox News shifted 18 House races toward Democrats, including swing seats in Wisconsin and the Allentown, Pennsylvania area.
  • The main House Republican super PAC cut funding in at least six districts in one day, from New Jersey to California.
  • Trump's approval is underwater in every single state, raising doubts about whether his rallies help or hurt.
  • Senate money is moving out of North Carolina and Georgia into Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska, where crypto cash is backing Pete Ricketts.
  • High gas and electricity costs tied to the Iran war are hitting Republicans hard, with voters shouting down candidates who blame environmental rules.

Outlook: Expect more Republican money to flee House seats and concentrate on defending the Senate as Democrats press on energy costs and data centers.
