Heading into the November 2014 election, the Republican Party held 233 to 199 lead in the U.S. House over the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party faced an uphill climb in attempts to retake the majority. This was in part because, historically, the incumbent president's party rarely makes gains during the midterm elections.^[1]

An NBC/WSJ poll in late April 2014 indicated that 45 percent of voters wanted a Republican-controlled Congress and 45 percent of voters wanted a Democrat-controlled Congress. However, of voters who expressed the highest likelihood of voting, 53 percent preferred a Republican-controlled Congress and 38 percent preferred a Democrat-controlled Congress. The same poll gave President Obama a 41 percent approval rating. This was 13 points below where the president's approval stood in April 2010, a year that turned out badly for Democrats in the 2010 House elections.^[2]^[3]

During the 2014 U.S. House primary elections, four incumbents lost their primary bids: Reps.Kerry Bentivolio (R),Eric Cantor (R),Ralph Hall (R) andJohn Tierney (D).

Partisan breakdown

In 2012, when PresidentBarack Obama won re-election by 126 electoral votes, the Republican Party maintained their control of the U.S. House, winning 234 seats to the Democrats 201 seats. This was up from the 193 seats Democrats held prior to the election. Due to various factors, the partisan breakdown of the 113th Congress shifted throughout the session. The breakdown headed into the election was as follows:

U.S. House Partisan Breakdown
Party		As of 2014 Election	After the 2014 Election
	Democratic Party	201	188
	Republican Party	234	247
	Vacancy	0	0
Total		435	435

The three vacancies heading into the election were inNew Jersey's 1st Congressional District,North Carolina's 12th Congressional District, andVirginia's 7th Congressional District.

Following the 2012 general election, Democratic incumbents held nine seats that had a political lean favoring Republicans by 54 percent or more. This was down from 2010 where Democrats held 32 seats in Republican-leaning districts. In 2012, there were 24 districts in which one party's nominee carried the presidential vote and the other party's nominee won the congressional race. Twenty of these instances were won by an incumbent. Of the 435 districts, 241 had a Republican lean. While Democratic candidates won more than a million votes over Republican candidates in the 2012 general election, most of the votes were clustered around urban areas as opposed to being broadly dispersed across the country. There were 47 districts with a partisan divide of 70 percent to 30 percent in favor of Democrats. Only 23 such districts existed on the Republican side. Of the 16 districts where the partisan divide was 80 percent to 20 percent or more, Democrats represented 15 of them.^[4]

Ballotpedia's battleground districts

See also:U.S. House battleground districts, 2014

The purple districts on the Census district map were those found to be competitive in Ballotpedia's study.

Five criteria

A district must have met one or more of the following criteria:

1. If a district had all six quantifiable predictions/results highlighted (Cook, Fairvote, MOV, 2012 presidential, 2008 presidential, and incumbent years in office) and four were of the most competitive nature, purple, they automatically made the cut.

Nineteen districts fit in this category.

2. The district was considered competitive if it had all six quantifiable predictions/results highlighted (Cook, Fairvote, MOV, 2012 presidential, 2008 presidential and incumbent years in office) with three of the highlighted factors being most competitive (purple) and two being intermediate competitive (orange). The district must also have had a “special factor” (high outside spending, redistricting) to be added to the most competitive list.

Two districts fit into this category.

3.Anomalies: This included Republicans or Democrats in a district that otherwise trended heavily toward the other party. The district must also have had some other qualifying factor, such as an MOV of ten percent or less, an incumbent who had served less than ten years or a competitive 2014 candidate. BothUtah's 4th Congressional District andNorth Carolina's 7th Congressional District were examples of this before Reps.Jim Matheson andMike McIntyre announced their retirements.

One district fits into this category.

4.Presidential differences: A district that may not have had all the categories highlighted, but voted for the other party in the most recent presidential election and the numbers were tight for the incumbent (redistricting was also factored in here).

One district was considered “Most Competitive” based only on this factor.

5.Recent effects of redistricting: This was relevant to three districts (IL-12, IL-13 and MN-08). Redistricting in the past three years caused these districts to be extremely tight and had the opportunity for a very close midterm election (the first midterm cycle these new districts will be going through).

Three districts were pushed into the most competitive list because of this, just missing meeting the other criteria listed above.

"Drive to 245"

In an attempt to raise fundraising numbers during an election year where Republicans were widely expected to retain control of theHouse, the NRCC launched the "Drive to 245" campaign in May 2014. Reaching 245 seats in the House would have required a net gain of 12 seats and would have been one of the largest party majorities in the last century. The Republicans successfully reached past 245 seats for the114th Congress.Garret Graves (R) andRalph Abraham (R) secured the landmark gain through their victories in the Louisiana December runoff elections.^[29]

Nick Rahall

In September 2013, the NRCC issued a press release in response toRahall, one of the organization's main targets in 2014, mistaking an umbrella for a lump of coal during a press conference. The press release stated:

"But Barack Obama, the EPA, and Nick Rahall aren’t waging a war on umbrellas – they are waging a war on coal. And yesterday, Bloomberg reported a new front opening in that war – the EPA is set to issue a rule that will completely halt the development of new coal-fueled plants by requiring they meet unachievable carbon standards."^[30]

DCCC & NRCC fundraising

April 2014

In the month of April 2014, the NRCC reported raising $4.1 million, falling short of the $7.1 million the DCCC raised. The NRCC ended the month with $32.3 million cash in the bank, while the DCCC had $43.5 on hand.

The DCCC brought in over $20 million more than the NRCC overall during this election cycle.^[31]

December 2013

As of December 2, 2013, the NRCC reported raising $52,404,530 and spending $35,697,047, leaving it with $18,242,094 cash on hand.^[32] Comparatively, the DCCC reported raising $65,202,181 and spending $41,423,695, leaving it with $25,266,707 cash on hand.^[33]

September 2013

TheDCCC raised $8.4 million in September compared to the $5.3 million theNRCC raised during the same period. This brought the total raised for 2013 through the third quarter to $58.2 million for the DCCC compared to the NRCC's $42.6 million. As for cash on hand, the DCCC still had an edge: $21.6 million to NRCC's $15.7 million.^[34]

August 2013

According to anOpen Secrets report on FEC filings released on August 13, 2013, theDCCC had raised $40.8 million to theNRCC's $34.3 million.^[35]

July 2013

As of July 2013, theDCCC had outraised theNRCC by $6.5 million.^[36]

April 2013

TheDemocratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) gained an early fundraising advantage in the first quarter of 2013. It outraised theNational Republican Congressional Committee $22.6 million to $17.5 million. Party strategists attributed the edge to Democrats' advantage in internet fundraising and small-dollar donations. Additionally vulnerable Democratic incumbents lead their endangered Republican counterparts in a majority of races.^[37]

Media mentions

Across the country, media and experts published stories that chronicled the incumbents who were in danger of losing their bid for re-election. Some of those incumbents mentioned included:

"The Monkey Cage"

In December 2013, John Sides' column, "The Monkey Cage," a blog published byThe Washington Post, released his first predictions for the 2014 elections. Sides and Eric McGhee, a political scientist, developed a forecasting model that uses numerous factors, including: presidential popularity, economic growth and whether it is a presidential or midterm election cycle.

September 2014:^[39]
- Democrats would win 191 seats, for a loss of ten seats.

December 2013:^[40]
- Democrats would win approximately 48 percent of the popular vote for the House.
- Democrats would win 196 seats, for a loss of five seats.

Primary elections

Only fourU.S. Representatives and noU.S. Senators were defeated in their primaries during the 2014 election cycle. One article fromNational Journal suggests that, despite the small number of defeats, incumbents have been gradually losing their advantage. The article states, "Fewer and fewer incumbents are running unopposed each election, and the rate of incumbents finishing under 60 or 70 percent in their primaries has more than doubled in recent elections."^[41] Studies on thecompetitiveness of U.S. House primaries further support this conclusion. According to a 2013Ballotpedia study on contested primaries, in the four congressional elections between 2004 and 2010, an average of only 26.3 percent of incumbents faced primary challengers. By 2012, this percentage had almost doubled, with 51.40 percent of incumbents facing primary challengers.

Office:U.S. Representative forTexas' 4th Congressional District
Years in office: 1981-present
2014 election:Texas' 4th Congressional District elections, 2014
Defeated by:John Ratcliffe

Ralph Hall was defeated byJohn Ratcliffe in a runoff primary on May 27, 2014, after failing to secure 50 percent of the vote in the initial Republican primary on March 4. Hall, 91, is the oldest U.S. Representative in history, and one of only two remaining World War II veterans in Congress.^[42] Hall had previously run as aDemocrat before switching to theRepublican Party in 2004.^[43] Ratcliffe, Hall's tea party-backed challenger, formerly served as the mayor of Heath, Texas, as a U.S. Attorney and as the Chief of Anti-Terrorism and National Security for the Eastern District of Texas.^[44] Although Ratcliffe trailed by 16.6 percent in the Republican primary, he jumped ahead in the runoff, defeating Hall by a 5.6 percent margin of victory.^[45] In addition to large personal loans to his campaign, Ratcliffe had support from conservative groups such asClub for Growth and theSenate Conservatives Fund.^[46] Hall had promised to make 2014 his last term in office, and he stated regarding his loss, "I’m not hurt about it. I’m not really terribly surprised about it, and I’m not happy about it. I’m going to keep on doing my job and coming home and visiting people that I love."^[47]

Years in office: 2001-2014
2014 election:Virginia's 7th Congressional District elections, 2014
Defeated by:David Brat

Eric Cantor's loss toDavid Brat in theRepublican primary on June 10, 2014, was the biggest and most shocking upset of the 2014 primary season, making Cantor the first-ever sittingHouse Majority Leader to lose a primary bid.^[48] Leading up to the election, Cantor had a significant financial advantage, having spent around $1 million in the weeks prior to the primary. Brat, in contrast, had raised only about $100,000 during his entire primary campaign.^[49] Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, had never before run for public office, and he did not receive any donations frompolitical action committees (PACs).^[50] Though he had a disadvantage in these areas, as well as name recognition, Brat attributed his success to his grassroots efforts and spending large amounts of time knocking on doors and talking with constituents. In an interview with Sean Hannity ofFox News, Brat explained, "The good news is dollars don't vote, people do."^[51]

Cantor stepped down from his position asHouse Majority Leader on July 31, 2014, and resigned from theU.S. House of Representatives on August 18, 2014.Kevin McCarthy ofCalifornia took over the position of House Majority Leader after Cantor's resignation.^[52]

2014 election:Michigan's 11th Congressional District elections, 2014
Defeated by:Dave Trott

Of the four incumbents who were defeated in primaries in 2014,Kerry Bentivolio lost by the widest margin. Bentivolio lost toDave Trott in theRepublican primary on August 5, 2014, by a margin of 32.6 percent.^[53] While it was common in the 2014 Republican primaries to see a tea party-backed challenger taking on the Republican "establishment" incumbent, Michigan's 11th District turned this narrative on its head. Bentivolio's spokesman explained the race from the incumbent's perspective, saying, "This is really a race about the establishment versus the tea party. It just so happens that the incumbent is the member of the tea party who is being targeted by a wealthy foreclosure attorney who simply wants to be a congressman."^[54] Bentivolio had received many negative headlines throughout his term. He had often been referred to as an "accidental" congressman, referring to his 2012 election, when he easily won the Republican nomination after incumbentThaddeus McCotter submitted invalid signatures and chose to resign. Bentivolio was also known for being a reindeer farmer and Santa Claus impersonator.^[55]

Defeated by:Seth Moulton

John Tierney was the onlyDemocratic congressman to lose his primary election in 2014. On September 9, 2014,Seth Moulton, a former Marine and a veteran of the Iraq War, defeated Tierney by 7.9 percent, making Tierney the fourth and final incumbent to be defeated in the 2014 primary election season.^[56] Tierney was a vulnerable incumbent in 2012 and won re-election by a mere 1.1 percent margin of victory againstRepublican Richard Tisei, who ran again in 2014.^[57] In 2011, Tierney's wife was involved in a scandal, when she served time in jail for "aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns" for her brother, Robert Eremian, who was accused of running an illegal gambling business.^[58]

Both Tierney and Moulton ran well-financed campaigns, raising $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.^[59] Tierney led in theDemocratic primary polls, and had support from influential Democrats, such as Sen.Elizabeth Warren fromMassachusetts and House Minority LeaderNancy Pelosi fromCalifornia.^[60]

Issues in 2014

Government shutdown

See alsoUnited States budget debate, 2013

Beginning in August 2013,House andSenate members began discussing the possibility of a government shutdown over the funding of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). On September 20, Republicans passed a spending bill in the House that funded the government until December 2013, but stripped funding from Obamacare. When Senate Majority LeaderHarry Reid (D-NV) announced that the Senate would hold a procedural vote on Wednesday, September 24, many senators began to announce their positions on voting against a cloture, the motion to end debate on a bill. After Sen.Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave amarathon speech, the motion for cloture was accepted and Reid was able to strip the Obamacare defunding language contained in the Republican House members' continuing resolution (CR).

Following the successful cloture vote and the Senate subsequently sending a clean continuing resolution back to the House, the two chambers began a high-stakes game of hot potato. By September 30, the House had voted and sent three resolutions to the Senate that all were struck down. The Senate then sent back a clean resolution stripped of any healthcare defunding language. With Obamacare being the issue-at-hand, Congress was unable to agree on whether a resolution would fund the landmark healthcare law.^[62]

In the midst of the government shutdown in October 2013, talks began regarding the need to increase thedebt ceiling.^[63]^[64] Sen.Susan Collins (R-ME) drafted a proposal that would have addressed both the budget shutdown, through the repeal of the medical device tax, and a plan to increase the debt ceiling through January 2014. Collins explained, "I’m hearing from many Democrats that if there were a way to deal somehow with the debt limit as well as part of this plan that that would be helpful. And obviously time is of the essence."^[65] Although her plan was ultimately rejected by Senate Democrats, her framework began a bipartisan effort to draft a resolution. Ultimately, Sens.Harry Reid andMitch McConnell were able to propose a plan on October 16.^[66]

A deal was reached late on October 16, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The government reopened.

Approval of own congressmen

During the shutdown, Americans' disapproval rating of their own congressmen reached new a new high, with almost as many people stating disapproval of their member (43%) to approval (44%). The Gallup poll concluded:

"While members of Congress may continue to argue that problems with the image of the body as a whole is not their fault, and that they are doing nothing more than faithfully representing their particular constituents, it is clear that even their own constituents are less positive about the job they are doing than they were in the past."

For senators up for re-election in 2014, this was the first election since the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This may have been problematic for Democratic senators who voted in favor of the bill in states where it was no longer popular. Among these senators included:

^[67]

Sen. Lee letter

In July 2013, Lee authored a letter, which was signed by 14 Republican senators, which promised a government shutdown unless the Affordable Care Act was defunded. The senators up for re-election in 2014 who signed the letter were:

Healthcare.gov rollout

See also:Healthcare.gov website rollout

The open enrollment period ended on March 31, 2014. The penalty, payable to the federal government, for not being enrolled in a health insurance plan by March 31 was either $95 or 1 percent of income, whichever was greater.^[68] The White House stated anyone selecting a plan before the deadline would not be subject to the penalty.^[69] In March 2014, however, the administration announced that uninsured people were allowed to enroll in plans into April as long as they had a plan selected on the website by March 31.^[70]

The rollout date was met with high demand for the website, both by those seeking insurance and those curious to see how the site worked. Attempts to use the website resulted in errors, including:

Error messages while creating an account and trying to log in
Data transfer problems from the exchange to healthcare providers
Errors in price quotes when not logged in
Lack of ability to sign up directly through individual insurance providers

In an October 30, 2013, hearing before theHouse Energy and Commerce Committee, the former Health and Human Services SecretaryKathleen Sebelius stated, "[h]old me accountable for the debacle. I’m responsible."^[71]

The first official report from the Obama administration was released November 13, 2013, covering October enrollment numbers. The report stated 26,794 users completed enrollment through theHealthcare.gov federal exchange. Another 79,391 users were able to enroll in the 15 state exchanges, bringing the total enrollment to 106,185 in October. Prior to rollout, the administration estimated 500,000 would sign up in the first month.^[72]^[73]

On November 22, 2013, the Obama administration announced an eight-day extension on completing applications for coverage starting January 1, 2014. The deadline to complete the application was moved from December 15 to December 23, 2013. Additionally, the 2014 open enrollment period was pushed back from the original October 15 start date to November 15, 2014, just after midterm elections.^[74] On November 25, 2013, the administration announced the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) would be delayed by one year. The program was supposed to be rolled out in October 2013 but was delayed until November 2014. Employers seeking the tax credit before the federal exchange rolls out SHOP in 2014 must use an insurance broker to sign up for eligible plans. The small business program delay did not impact states with state-run exchanges.^[75]

On April 10, 2014,Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius resigned from her post as a result of the troubled rollout of Obamacare.^[76]

Senate Conservative Fund targets

The Senate Conservative Fund targeted Sens. Isakson (R-GA), Graham (R-SC), Alexander (R-TN) and Burr (R-NC) in August 2013 with two weeks of radio ads designed to push Senate Republicans to support Utah'sMike Lee's effort to defund Obamacare.^[77]

ISIS

See also:ISIS insurgency in Iraq and Syria

Members ofCongress on both sides of the aisle were in disagreement over the need to pass congressional approval of the administration's air strikes in Iraq as well as any future strikes on ISIS. Sens.Lindsey Graham (R-SC),Carl Levin (D-MI) andMarco Rubio (R-FL) each stated on September 8, 2014, that gaining congressional approval was not necessary for the actions taken by PresidentBarack Obama, with Levin claiming, "I think the president has an abundant amount of authority to conduct operations. It would be good to have Congress on board. I don’t think the War Powers Act is constitutional. If Congress doesn’t like what he’s doing, we can always cut the money off." Members such asTim Kaine (D-VA),Bill Nelson (D-FL) andRand Paul (D-KY) disagreed and continued to push for a vote. Paul argued, "It would show a disregard for the Constitution and for the history of our country."^[78]

Congressional leadership did not want to take quick action, bringing a vote to the floor, with oneRepublican aide stating, "We want to wait and see what he’s going to say to the four leaders and what he’s going to say to the nation. How he lays out his strategy will determine how our guys and members of Congress respond."^[79] Reid backed up that sentiment, saying, "Tomorrow the president is addressing the nation. That doesn’t happen very often. On Thursday afternoon we’re having a briefing here from the administration on what’s going on in the Middle East. I’m going to wait and get the facts before I jump off into something that you read on the Internet someplace."^[80]

While some members in tighter re-election campaigns were wary of a vote prior to the November elections, Rep.Jim McGovern (D-MA) came out strongly in favor of the vote, even going so far as threatening to use a procedural workaround ifRepublican Majority Leader John Boehner did not put a vote on the calendar. McGovern defended his threat, explaining, "We have boots on the ground, even though everybody says we don't want any boots on the ground. We're doing more than just protecting U.S. personnel on the ground. And when I read the newspapers, we're talking about a multi-year commitment. So there's a role for Congress in this, and we need to make sure that we don't … shirk our constitutional responsibility. And I think most people feel that way."^[81]

Farm bill

See also:United States Farm Bill 2013

TheSenate passed a $1 trillion farm bill in June 2013 to fund both food stamps and farmer subsidies. States heavy in agriculture, including ones that will be competitive in 2014, may turn more favorably to Democratic candidates due to Republican opposition of the bill. The vote was 66-27, with 25 of the 27 nay votes being from Republicans. The two Democratic senators to vote against the bill wereJack Reed (RI) andSheldon Whitehouse (RI)

The comprehensive bill failed in theHouse due largely in part to the votes of eightDemocratic House members who joined theRepublican majority to vote down the measure.^[82]Reps.Collin Peterson,John Barrow,Sanford Bishop,Cheri Bustos,Sean Maloney,Mike McIntyre,Bill Owens andTim Walz were the eightDemocratic members who voted to reject the bill.^[82] According to analysis byOpenSecrets.org, many of theseDemocratic members received significant political contributions from agricultural organizations that benefit from crop insurance subsidies.^[82]

Upon arrival at theHouse, the bill was altered by focusing solely on the farm programs and did not include the food stamp program, which will be voted on later. The House and Senate will now need to draft a final bill through conference committee.^[83]

2012 Election summary

In a February 2013 article in theWashington Post, political scientists John Sides and Eric McGhee argued that redistricting was not solely responsible for Republicans maintaining control of the U.S. House in2012. By comparing the 2012 election to prior elections, the authors maintained that additional factors like incumbency and the increasingly concentrated nature of Democratic votes in urban areas contributed to the outcome.^[84]

Margin of victory analysis

There were a total of 435 seats up for election in 2012. The following table shows the margin of victory for each race winner, which is calculated by examining the percentage difference between the top-two vote getters. If the race was uncontested, the margin of victory is listed as 100%. Some general facts:

30 races (6.9 percent) had a margin of victory of less than 5 percent. Of those 30 races, 18 were Democratic winners while 12 were Republican.
33 races (7.6 percent) had a margin of victory between 5 and 10 percent. Of those 33 races, 15 were Democratic winners while 18 were Republican.
87 races (20 percent) had a margin of victory between 10 and 20 percent. Of those 87 races, 23 were Democratic winners while 64 were Republican.
285 races (65.5 percent) had a margin of victory of greater than 20 percent. Of those 285 races, 145 were Democratic winners while 140 were Republican.
The fewest votes were inTexas' 29th District, with only 95,611 total votes. IncumbentGene Green (D) faced two third-party candidates in the general election.
The most votes were inMontana, with 479,740 votes cast. Montana has a total population of 998,199 -- which is roughly 250,000 above the average district size in states without single districts. Because Montana has only one district for the whole state, its voters per district is higher than the rest of the country. The average size of each district is 709,000. The second-most votes cast came inColorado's 2nd District, with 421,580 total votes.
The smallest margin of victory, wasNorth Carolina's 7th District, where incumbent DemocratMike McIntyre defeatedDavid Rouzer (R) by 0.2 percent (654 votes).
The largest margin of victory where both major parties fielded a general election candidate was inNew York's 15th District, where incumbent DemocratJose Serrano defeatedFrank Della Valle (R) by 83%.
The average margin of victory of all congressional districts was 31.85%, meaning that on average the winner of each race received nearly twice as many votes as the top opponent. Average MOV for Democratic winners was 35.7%, while the average for Republicans was 28.6%.
The average number of votes cast per district was 281,917, yielding an average voter turnout of 39.76%.
