Cook Political Report shifts 19 House seats in Democrats’ favor
Cook said Republicans’ path to a House majority has all but evaporated, moving another 19 races toward Democrats.
- The Cook Political Report moved 19 House races toward Democrats on Friday, with six districts shifting from 'Toss-Up' to 'Lean Democrat,' signaling the GOP's path to retaining their House majority has all but evaporated.
- President Donald Trump's approval rating stands at 34 percent, eroded by economic concerns over cost of living and soaring gas prices amid the Iran war. Low approval historically dampens the party in power's midterm prospects.
- The Congressional Leadership Fund canceled $13.3 million in planned advertising across four districts to defend vulnerable Republican incumbents. Meanwhile, the Democratic House campaign committee launched a $17 million fundraising drive to capitalize on newly competitive seats.
- Analysts project Democrats could flip between 12 and 22 seats, positioning them to secure a House majority of 227 to 237 seats when Congress convenes in January. Democrats currently need only a handful of Republican-held seats to take control.
- Midterms arrive on November 3, with campaigns making final pitches to voters. Historically, the party of the President loses seats during midterms, a trend Democrats hope will mirror the 2018 'blue wave' when they flipped more than 40 House seats.
