Incumbents.
Yes.
PACs tend to give more money to incumbents because incumbents have a higher likelihood of winning reelection. PACs want to support candidates who are already in power and have a proven track record of supporting their interests. Additionally, supporting incumbents can help PACs maintain access and influence in policymaking processes.
