Brad Finstad’s campaign is the only one reported to have returned the money, while others like Mike Lawler say they have no plans to relinquish it. Democrats seize on the issue and the NRCC pushes back, as the piece also notes Pelosi’s remarks on Biden’s withdrawal and Jeffries’ stance on immigration.

The decisions have buoyed Democratic hopes of winning House seats in Florida and are expected to make reproductive rights a major issue in House races across the country, particularly for vulnerable Republicans representing districts won by President Biden in 2020.

"California's 2024 Senate Primary: Democrats and GOP Compete in High-Stakes Race"

The California Senate primary is heating up as top Democrats, including Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Katie Porter, battle for the top two spots in a race that has seen an unexpected surge from Republican Steve Garvey. The top two vote-getters will advance to the general election, and with Schiff leading the field, the race for the second spot is intensifying. Additionally, several down-ballot House races in California are also likely to play a pivotal role in determining who controls the U.S. House, with competitive races in districts such as California's 22nd and 47th, and the 27th District where the last Republican House member is facing a tough challenge.

"California's Crucial House Races: The Key to 2024 Control"

The fight for control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024 begins with Tuesday’s primaries in California, where the top two finishers, regardless of party affiliation, will compete in the general election. With few contested seats, the battle between Democrats in a Republican-held Central Valley district has raised concerns of a potential lockout, prompting heavy hitters like Dolores Huerta and Governor Gavin Newsom to rally for their preferred candidates. The outcome in California could be crucial for Democrats' hopes of retaking the House, as the state holds five of the 16 Republican-held districts won by President Biden in 2020.
