The Congressional Leadership Fund is pulling its planned TV advertising for Colorado Rep. Mike Coffman and Michigan Rep. Mike Bishop, Politico first reported and Axios has confirmed. The combined $3.1 million initially invested in these races will be redistributed elsewhere.
Why it matters: Both are tough races and Coffman's district was recently moved to favor Democrats. Moving money away from vulnerable GOP incumbents suggests that the party sees these races as a lost cause, but the NRCC is still advertising in both of them.
Go deeper: CLF has been working since February 2017 to help House Republicans in the midterm election.
