Nicholas Fandos reports in The New York Times that the Democrats House Majority PAC this week will unveil a $45 million fund for winning back four seats that Republicans flipped in New York last year. One of the districts they are targeting is the 19th, where Republican Marc Molinaro won last fall. Republicans now hold a slim five-seat majority in the House of Representatives, and many observers have said that is because of the losses in New York. “The path to the majority runs through New York,” Mike Smith, who leads the political action committee, said. “It’s not just us seeing it. It is the Republican Party seeing it. It’s every donor around the country seeing it.” The national money will be helpful, as New York Democrats are still bickering about the losses. Progressives blame the conservative chair of the state party, Jay Jacobs, while he said the Republicans won by focusing on crime in many advertisements. The Democratic PAC spent around $13 million in New York last year, while Republicans’ Congressional Leadership Fund spent at least $21 million. In a sign that Republicans are also taking New York Congressional 2024 elections very seriously, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is planning to make an early fund-raising stop in the state in March.
