Just over a week until Election Day, the battlegrounds where Republicans are looking to pick up House seats have extended more and more into territories that heavily favored President Biden in 2020, with both sides pouring money into races in such areas.

Among these are California's 26th district, New York's 25th, and Pennsylvania's 12th, where GOP spending has increased, according to an Axios report, and Democrats have taken notice.

"The DCCC has already invested in these seats that are critical to maintaining the majority," Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson Tommy Garcia informed Axios.

The California district is currently held by Democrat Rep. Julia Brownley, who won her 2020 race by 21 points. The majority of her district is located in Ventura County, which President Biden won by the same margin.

National Republican Campaign Committee chairman Tom Emmer told Fox News over the weekend that "nobody would have expected" Brownley to have difficulty but that she is now "really in a fight" with Republican Matt Jacobs.

In New York's 25th district, incumbent Democrat Rep. Joe Morelle won by 20 points in 2020. Biden similarly won by 20 points in Monroe County, which makes up much of the district. Emmer said Morelle "is in trouble" against GOP candidate La'Ron Singletary.

That race has reportedly drawn the attention – and money – of party leaders, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., each contributing $2,000 to Morelle, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., giving $5,000 to Singletary.

Like those districts, Pennsylvania's 12th was also deep blue in 2020. Back then, under the previous map, the district's main city of Pittsburgh was part of the 18th district. Pittsburgh's county, Allegheny, also went Biden with a 20-point margin over former President Donald Trump, but Republicans are making a big push there as well. Democrat Summer Lee and Republican Mike Doyle are battling there to take the spot held by a retiring Democrat also named Mike Doyle.

According to Axios, the NRCC is investing six figures in those three districts.

Garcia claimed he was not concerned.

"The NRCC and Tom Emmer can chase windmills all day long while their endangered incumbents struggle — but the DCCC, along with outside spenders, will make sure Matt Jacobs, La'Ron Singletary, and Mike Doyle never see the halls of Congress," he told Axios.

The NRCC's financial push comes alongside the Congressional Leadership Fund's ad blitz targeting key races. On Wednesday, they announced that they are pumping $11 million in new ad buys in more than a dozen congressional districts across the country.

The super PAC, which is linked to McCarthy, is going after 16 districts in all with the new ads. Seven of those districts are ones that President Biden won by double digits in the 2020 election that are now shaping up to be close races.

"CLF continues to raise record sums which has allowed us press our advantage deeper into the map and forced Democrats into tough decisions," CLF President Dan Conston said in a statement. "Republicans are in a great position to win the majority and we’ll continue making the investments we need in the final stretch."

Americans who report tighter financial conditions after the election of President Joe Biden largely blame the commander-in-chief and his legislative allies, according to a new midterm election survey from Bankrate.

Republicans have significant projected leads over Democrats with respect to economic issues as voters are expected to be driven to the polls by soaring inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, expensive residential real estate, and dwindling retirement stockpiles. While 43% of respondents to the Bankrate survey reported that their finances are worse than two years ago, only 18% say they are better, and most of the individuals in the former category say Democrats are responsible.

“In our highly polarized political environment, and in the context of a complicated and highly dynamic economic situation, many people naturally gravitate toward assigning blame or credit to elected officials,” Bankrate senior economic analyst Mark Hamrick said in a statement provided to The Daily Wire. “The midterm elections will be important in terms of defining which party is or isn’t in the political driver’s seat in Congress over the next two years … many of these factors may have impacts going into the next general election.”

Among those who reported worse finances, 69% placed “at least a moderate amount of blame” on Biden, while 71% placed blame on Democrats in Congress. A smaller but still salient 54% blamed Republicans in Congress. Although 93% of Republicans with lower financial prospects said Biden is to blame, 30% of Democrats agreed.

Americans also show a high amount of pessimism about their future financial prospects. Only 26% believe they would be better off over the next two years, 32% think they would be worse off, and 42% envision they will be about the same.

“Something of a bunker mentality may be emerging among consumers,” Hamrick continued. “It’s understandable as they’ve been adjusting in response to inflation, which erodes buying power, and in anticipation of possible worsening of the job market.”

As Americans prepare to cast ballots next week, the Biden administration has attempted to blame the poor economy on Republicans, who generally opposed multibillion-dollar spending packages impacting issues ranging from climate change to semiconductor manufacturing. Reacting to news of the economy growing at a 2.6% annualized pace during the last quarter, the White House claimed that “doomsayers” had been “rooting for a downturn” while wrongly arguing that the country was in a recession.

“Now, we need to make more progress on our top economic challenge: bringing down high prices for American families,” Biden said in a statement. “Congressional Republicans have a very different agenda — one that would drive up inflation and add to the deficit by cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. It would raise the cost of prescription drugs, health care, and energy for American families.”

The nation, however, had met the rule-of-thumb definition of a recession earlier this year as the economy contracted at a 1.6% annualized rate in the first quarter and a 0.6% pace in the second quarter, marking two consecutive quarters of negative growth. In response, the White House dismissed recession worries and said that only an official determination from the National Bureau of Economic Research would mean the nation was in a prolonged contraction.
