Trump-linked super PAC pulls funding from 2 House Republicans as GOP fights to keep majority
Two Republican-aligned groups are withdrawing money they had earmarked for the reelection bids of Representatives Tom Kean of New Jersey and Marianette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, less than a month before Election Day. MAGA Inc. , the organization tied to President Donald Trump, is redirecting its planned spending in both districts, and a source told Fox News Digital that the Congressional Leadership Fund, which is aligned with House GOP leadership, is doing the same. Both will steer the dollars toward other House contests nationwide. Recent polling suggesting the two incumbents have slim odds of winning appears to have prompted the shift.
The move comes as Republicans struggle to hold the chamber. Fox News Power Rankings currently put 219 seats in Democratic hands, the number needed for control, while 198 lean Republican and 19 remain undecided.
A source close to Kean's campaign said his race is fully funded for the final stretch, adding that his campaign and the House GOP campaign arm have major broadcast reservations, whereas Democratic opponent Rebecca Bennett has no soft dollar reservations. Kean's northern New Jersey district, among the wealthiest in the country, is one of the most politically balanced anywhere, as is Miller-Meeks's.
