California and New York have attracted more out-of-state spending for House races than any other places this cycle.

They have also seen the greatest increases, both in dollars and as a percentage, of overall spending from 2022 .

The surge of cash on the coasts has meant significant spending drops in other states, including Texas , Nevada and Florida .

It comes after Democrats underperformed in their strongholds in the 2022 midterms.

Democrats see a House majority as a necessary bulwark against a potential second term for President Trump .

Democrats in Florida and Texas say they're getting help in other ways, including visits from leadership to the red states.

There aren't as many competitive House districts in those states this year as there are no battleground seats.
