A source familiar with the buys said that House Majority PAC (HMP) pulled the plug on a roughly $470,000 reservation the week of Oct. 9 and cut about $510,000 from a reservation the week of Oct. 23.
The move by HMP suggests that Democrats are optimistic about Virginia state Sen. Jennifer Wexton’s chances of defeating Comstock in November and may be looking to shift resources to other areas.

A Monmouth University poll in June gave Wexton a 9 point lead over Comstock in the race. That same month, The Cook Political Report, an election handicapper, moved the contest from the “toss-up” column to “Lean Democrat.”
But both parties are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the race, and internal polls on both sides show a tighter race than the one reflected in public surveys.
Democrats are gunning for a so-called “blue wave” in November in hopes of recapturing the majority in the House and, possibly, the Senate. The party needs to gain at least 23 seats to win control of the House.
