A prominent election group affiliated with President Donald Trump is suspending planned spending in two key congressional districts held by House Republicans as Election Day approaches in less than a month.
MAGA Inc. is reallocating its planned investments in districts represented by Rep. Tom Kean, R-N.J., and Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, for the remainder of the midterm election cycle, a source familiar with those plans confirmed to Fox News Digital.
A super PAC aligned with House GOP leadership, the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), is also pulling its money out of those districts and redirecting it to other races, a source familiar with the plans said.
Both groups will instead direct those funds to other House races across the country. This comes after recent polls indicated that the re-election chances of both incumbent presidents had become slim.

Republicans’ uphill battle to retain control of the House of Representatives is growing tougher by the day, according to various projections. The latest Power Rankings from Fox News show that Democrats have an advantage in 219 seats in the House – enough to clinch the majority – while Republicans are expected to hold on to 198. Nineteen seats are still up for grabs.
Kean’s 7th Congressional District is one of the wealthiest in New Jersey and the United States as a whole, encompassing New York City’s suburbs and suburbs to the north.
A source close to Kean’s campaign told Fox News Digital that “the race is fully funded until the final stretch.”
Kean’s campaign and the House Republicans’ campaign arm “have significant reservations about the broadcast,” the source said, adding that his Democratic opponent Rebecca Bennett “does not have any financial reservations on her behalf.”
The House majority PAC (HMP), aligned with the Democratic leadership, rejected the idea in a statement to Fox News Digital, with spokesperson CJ Warnke saying: “It’s no surprise that the guy who ghosted his voters for over 100 days is collapsing over national Republicans abandoning his race.” We are returning the NJ-07 to blue in November. »

Kean won his House seat in 2022 after defeating former incumbent Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., by fewer than 10,000 votes. His margin for re-election in 2024 was wider, winning by just over 5%, or 23,000 votes more than his Democratic challenger.
Miller-Meeks, meanwhile, is seeking a fourth term against Democrat Christina Bohannan, whom she beat twice by about 20,000 and 800 votes in 2022 and 2024.
She won for the first time in 2020 by just six votes, earning her the nickname “six-pack” among fellow House Republicans and GOP leaders.

Miller-Meeks represents Iowa’s 1st Congressional District in the southeastern part of the state, encompassing the cities of Davenport and Iowa City.
The New York Times first reported plans by “Republican super PACs aligned with President Trump and Republican congressional leaders” to pull funding from Kean and Miller-Meeks’ districts due to concerns about their poll numbers.

The CLF would withdraw that funding as part of a broader reshuffle of its war chest toward other districts in which Republicans have more confidence.
That includes battleground Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Monica De La Cruz, R-Texas, the Times reported.
The source close to the CLF plan told Fox News Digital that the group is also pulling funds from Michigan’s 8th Congressional District and Ohio’s 1st Congressional District, where Republicans hope to unseat Reps. Kristen McDonald Rivet, Democrat of Michigan, and Greg Landsman, Democrat of Ohio.
