GOP sees Kavanaugh as boost for Senate, danger for House
The fight over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is energizing the conservative GOP base even as it appears to have thrown the House Republican majority into greater doubt.
Republicans say the attacks on Kavanaugh are resonating with GOP voters in their districts and states, and that the fight could boost GOP candidates in Senate races in red states like North Dakota, West Virginia and Indiana.
But that is of little consolation to vulnerable House Republicans such as Rep. Leonard Lance as he tries to hang on to his suburban New Jersey swing district.
Republicans acknowledge that the fight over Kavanaughs nomination could dampen their prospects of holding onto the House majority, which is already an uphill battle this cycle. Christine Blasey Fords allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school threatens to hurt the party with female and moderate voters who are key in swing seats.
