摘要

民选官员在有线电视新闻上的露面已成为美国政治的一大特色。上有线电视新闻的候选人是否看到了随后筹款的激增？我们评估了2009-2010年每一位竞选众议院的主要政党候选人在美国有线电视新闻网、微软全国广播公司和福克斯新闻上的所有电视露面情况。我们将这些与FEC在同一时期做出的每一项个人竞选贡献的记录相匹配。我们发现有证据表明，出现在有线电视新闻上的候选人在出现当天确实看到了筹款的激增。我们发现在职者从州内捐助者那里筹集了更多的资金，而非在职者则从州外捐助者那里获得了资金。此外，这笔钱更多地来自黄金时段的露面，而不是白天的露面。鉴于候选人在电视上露面的筹款活动有所增加，美国政治的这一方面仍有可能持续下去。

Campaigning Through Cable: Examining the Relationship Between Cable News Appearances and House Candidate Fundraising

Appearances of elected officials on cable news have become a regular feature of American politics. Do candidates going on cable news see a subsequent bump in fundraising? We evaluate all television appearances for every major party candidate running for the House from 2009–2020 on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. We match these with FEC records of every individual campaign contribution made during the same period. We find evidence that candidates who appear on cable news do see a spike in fundraising on the day of the appearance. We find incumbents raise more money from in-state donors while nonincumbents see a bump from out-of-state donors. Also, this money comes more from appearances in primetime slots, not daytime appearances. Given that candidates see a bump in fundraising for TV appearances, it remains likely that this facet of American politics will persist.
