  • Card 10 / 11:
    Explain the factors that make it difficult to oust incumbents.

    Incumbents chase off would-be challengers because they are able to raise more money given that people want to back a winner and that voters know incumbents by name because they won the office in a previous election. The challengers who do take on incumbents typically lose soundly for the same reasons.
