Republicans should put their eggs in IA-2 and IA-1 rather than in this one.

UT-04: Ben McAdams raised around $900K in Q4

Yeah, I doubt that republicans will take back this district next year especially with Trump lukewarm approval rate in Utah

It would be safer for republicans to make a Salt lake dem vote sink next decade.

Why ? The other districts are safe and should remain so, it’s not that Utah is becoming a progressive state, it’s just that Trump brand of republicanism is not attracting mormons

Trump brand of republicanism has redefined the GOP and it is going to stick. Being against immigration and against free trade is helping the GOP with WWC voters , but it's hurting them with mormons.

Mormons contrary to white suburbanites Romney/Clinton voters are still very socially and fiscally conservative, they will easily support a ''Trumpist'' republican as long he doesn't have the personal flaws that Trump has, I mean Ron DeSantis would probably win 2/3 of the vote in Utah if he were to run for / when he will run for the presidency

Mormons are pro immigration and pro free trade. And the GOP has become anti immigration and pro protectionnism.

I don't believe that 2016 was an outlier, it was a realignment. WWC voters aren't going to go back to the dems post Trump and college whites aren't going to go back the republicans either.

I don't disagree, but we are talking about mormons who voted Romney/Johnson or Romney/McMullin, not because they have become liberal but because of a personal rejection of Trump, these voters are still fairly conservative and will continue to vote for republicans not named Trump

GOP gets a good recruit for FL-26 in Miami-Dade Mayor Jimenez.

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article239046258.html

His entry will be applauded by the GOP but he has some baggage and has never run in a partisan race.  He voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 which could help him in this district.

I wonder if BRTD will donate to Jimenez as he thinks that Shahala is the worst Democrat in Congress.

Shahala represents FL-27, Jimenez is running for FL-26.

Congressmen Richard Ojeda and Gene Taylor can attest to that.

To be fair both ran way ahead of the district's partisanship. However, I doubt FL-26 flips back since Curbelo was pretty moderate and a strong incumbent and he still lost.

[MT Treasurer]

Nah, it really won’t.

Yeah, it'll probably screw him in the primary. There's a hardcore MAGA already running.

Clearly Republicans will flip FL-26 and FL-27 back while losing MN-01 and MN-08 #PartyLikeIts2004

Probably also a sign of Delgado's strength.

[wbrocks67]

The NY GOP remains a mess.

Max Rose, NY-11 (D) raised a whopping $1.2 million in Q4, ended with $2.5 million in the bank.

His most likely GOP challenger, Nicole Malliotakis, only raised $306K in Q4.
