Scoop: Gillibrand hauls in 6-figures for embattled House Democrats

• Gillibrand has raised more than $1 million this cycle for federal candidates, a source familiar with the operation told Axios.

The big picture: The map of House members from New York is a mini-version of what Gillibrand would face if she becomes the next DSCC chair.

• House Democrats must flip several Republican-held seats in the state if House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has any hope of becoming speaker next year.
• Gillibrand fundraised over the weekend for challengers in two of those districts — Democrats Mondaire Jones and Josh Riley. She also raised cash for Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.), who is in a seat that leans Democratic, according to Cook Political Report ratings.

What to watch: Gillibrand will head to Ohio late next week to fundraise and campaign for Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who is running one of the most important Senate races this year.

• Brown pulled in a monster $30.6 million in Q3 fundraising, after taking in $13 million in Q2, his campaign said.

The bottom line: Brown, like Sen. Jon Tester in Montana, is Schumer's last line of defense for keeping the Senate.

• A loss by Brown in Ohio would put Schumer on the brink of losing his majority. He would need a surprise win in a state like Florida or Texas to make up for the loss.
