Uh and that's and we're only in mid mid-September, right?
I mean, there's gonna be a lot more money running into these seats.
It's it's it's unusual to me this early to see that
That triage campaign to see these uh seemingly out of reach Republican seats uh you know, seeing the money uh exemplify that they're nervous.
Uh there's probably going to be more as we get into the the the the rest of the election.
Another interesting one is Alaska, the at-large seat in Alaska, the fifth most spending.
From Republican committees, uh Republican and Democratic committees combined, are in that Alaska seat.
This is the at-large seat where an independent named Bill Hill is uh essentially the Democratic choice.
He's getting benefiting from House Majority PAC, which is the Democratic super PAC campaign arm, uh against uh the incumbent there, Nick Begage.
So uh there's it's it's a
really diverse number of seats that Democrats uh really have a shot at.
I mean you have to assume that the political professionals have some information.
They're not throwing money at a twenty point plus Trump seat because they're just flying blind.
They have information, internal polling, what have you, that they they actually need to get on the air so they can s you know keep their base and and make sure they win that seat.
And so to me
Uh for this to happen early means that they're already seeing that show up in the polling.
Usually those kind of threatened seats you might not see until later because they have a lot of Republican support in that seat.
And the shifting winds of the election sometimes happen, you know, in the immediate uh, you know, days before the vote.
Uh to see it this early means
means that the wave is already starting to crest.
