Cook Political Report moves 18 House seats toward Democrats
The report says Democrats could gain 9 to 19 seats and reach 224 to 234 seats, enough to clear the House majority threshold.
- On Friday, the Cook Political Report shifted 18 House race ratings toward Democrats, projecting a pickup of nine to 19 seats that would give the party between 224 and 234 total seats.
- Republicans hoped massive ad campaigns would damage Democratic candidates and help incumbents separate from President Donald Trump, but analyst Erin Covey wrote the spending 'has yet to move the needle.'
- Five races previously rated as toss-ups now lean Democratic, including seats held by Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks , Zach Nunn , Ryan Mackenzie , Scott Perry , and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez .
- Democrats need only 20% of remaining toss-up races to secure a House majority, assuming currently favorable seats break their way, with projections now ranging from 224 to 234 total seats.
- House GOP leaders acknowledged that redistricting efforts fell short, while polling suggests some voters favor candidates who break from Trump's influence, illustrating persistent headwinds for the GOP.
