Democrats win the House --- fundraising and candidate quality.

The memo says, "Despite a volatile month of ever-evolving political news, House Democrats remain well-positioned to win back the majority this fall," citing what the committee calls a "continued fundraising advantage." The committee's report says the party's top challengers and frontline incumbents hold an average fundraising advantage of approximately $400,000 in some of the most competitive Congressional districts nationwide in recent months. The memo says the most recent finalized quarterly fundraising totals show Democratic candidates in some of the most contentious races raised an average of $1 million during the most recent three-month stretch for which the party's campaign reports were made available. Several House Democrats facing the stiffest re-election challenges were among the first wave of Democrats to call for Mr. Biden to withdraw from the 2024 election, including Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) and Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI). Though it doesn't mention the president by name or reference his decision to bow out of the race, the DCCC memo reviewed by CBS News argues the party is cultivating diverse viewpoints among its candidates reflected in an "independent" streak. The memo says, "The message hasn't changed." It says, "Democrats run common sense, independent-minded candidates who reflect the diversity of our nation and are focused on kitchen table issues. For House Democrats, differing viewpoints and candid conversations are a welcome way to push towards solutions." House Democrats have been bullish on their prospects of re-taking the majority in November through flipping a handful of battleground districts from red-to-blue, including multiple districts in suburban New York City and California. Campaign strategists and House incumbents questioned whether Mr. Biden's June debate performance and faltering national poll numbers were damaging the party's House campaign efforts.
