After Democrats barely held on to control of the United States House of Representatives in the 2020 elections, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-New York), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), was tasked with looking at why the party did not fare as well as it had hoped.
Maloney announced his findings on Tuesday, in a 52-page PowerPoint presentation that laid out two primary reasons why Democrats fared as they did in the election last year.
The House Democrats’ campaign arm raised more than $12 million last month, topping its Republican counterpart and giving the group its best April on record in terms of fundraising.

The late-starting congressional redistricting process is serving as a wet blanket on the campaign planning of most prospective House candidates, who are left guessing about the exact confines and the competitiveness of the areas they hope to represent.
Some are eschewing formal campaigning until the lines are drawn and new districts are in place. In most states that will be late this year or even early next year because of pandemic-related delays in the collection of 2020 census data. Thatâs months later than at a comparable point in the previous redistricting cycle a decade ago.

EXCLUSIVE: The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) brought in a record $11.2 million in fundraising in April as the reelection arm of the House GOP builds resources while it aims to regain theHouse majority in the 2022 midterm elections.
According to figures from the NRCC, which were shared first with Fox News on Thursday, the committee has more than $34 million cash on hand, which party officials say is a 70% increase over the same point last cycle. The committee also reports zero debt.
And the NRCC highlights that its fundraising last month was its best off-election year April haul ever and more than double what it raised last cycle during the same month.
