OH-01: Republican Steve Chabot may not seek re-election in 2020.
Democrats are no longer alone in calling for long-time Congressman Steve Chabot to retire.
It appears that message is now coming from inside his own party, evidenced by Chabot's lackluster second-quarter fundraising numbers.
The Westwood conservative only raised $192,153 in the quarter ending June 30, lagging behind most of his Republican peers who are running in competitive districts in 2020.
Democrats Kate Schroder of Clifton and Nikki Foster of Mason recently launched campaigns to set up a March primary in Ohio's 1st Congressional District. Schroder raised more than $150,000 in her first week on the campaign, a sign the rookie candidate has a lot of momentum.
Chabot's district is one of 33 that House Democrats have identified to try to flip. Only seven GOP candidates raised less than Chabot did last quarter, signaling that Greater Cincinnati Republican donors may be ready for a change.
