Trump-district Democrats post big fundraising hauls

By the numbers: A full accounting of second-quarter fundraising won't be available until later this month, but some numbers in key races have already arrived.

• Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan raised roughly $1 million over the three months, her campaign told Axios. She has about $3 million in the bank.
• Rep. Andy Kim of New Jersey raised over $800,000 in Q2 and has $2 million cash on hand, an aide said.
• Rep. Cindy Axne of Iowa, the only Democratic representative from her state, raised over $700,000 and has over $1 million in the bank.

The big picture: Those are substantial fundraising sums for so early in the election cycle, and put all three members in strong position for their re-election campaigns.

• Slotkin, Kim and Axne each raised hundreds of thousands more than they did during the same period in 2019.

Between the lines: The potentially tough races these moderate Democrats are facing back home may affect their decisions in Washington.

• They expressed hesitancy to Axios about their party using the reconciliation process to pass a second infrastructure package, even as the more progressive wing of their party demands it.
