BY REID WILSON - 09/30/18 01:24 PM EDT
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has canceled more than 1 million dollars in planned advertising aimed at helping Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.) in the coming weeks.
The decision to cut advertising, described to The Hill by a source familiar with the NRCC's strategic thinking, is a hint that Republicans are pessimistic about Yoder's chances of holding his Kansas City-area district.
Yoder has had significant help from outside groups already. The Congressional Leadership Fund, the largest super PAC backing Republican candidates, has spent about $1.8 million on television advertisements on his behalf. The group still has $750,000 booked in the Kansas City media market for the election's final four weeks.
But the NRCC, which faces a huge battlefield in a political environment in which Democrats have an edge, will use its money elsewhere. The committee was slated to spend $1.2 million on ads beginning October 9.
Yoder has represented the district since winning election in 2010, when he replaced Democrat Dennis Moore. Yoder has never faced a particularly stiff challenge from a Democrat, though he only took 51 percent of the vote in 2016.

Watch this one and how it helps the Dems in neighboring Districts. The College Students are causing a major shit to Dems. Door knocking,voter Registration,and talking to the people.

I am curious WHERE they are "using" this money they are pulling. I.e., which seats they are trying to bolster. Have been seeing several articles where they have started pulling money out of campaigns.
