Three advantages of incumbency are 1. The presidents are already known in the political spectrum 2. They have rather no trouble running and funding their campaigns and 3. They have safe seats due to their experience and sometimes district advantage due to their parties control over a certain area that favors their political party.
Some of the advantages an incumbent may have are franking privilege, staffers, patronage, name recognition, casework, and money (especially from PAC's).

∙ 14y agoThe incumbents have a higher possibility of winning the election over the challenge for a different number of reason but some of these reasons can be because they can raised more money than the challengers. They also had been successful getting elected before so it is easier for them to do it again. Also the media cover the incumbent in articles and magazines a challenger is hardly know. The incumbents most of the time retired or resign their seats but is almost impossible for a challenger to win the seat. Unless the incumbent is involve with a scandal.
