House Democrats Grow More Bullish About Midterms as Target List Expands
- On Friday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added eight House districts to its "Districts in Play" list, expanding its offensive map to 66 seats. DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene said Democrats are continuing to expand into deep-red territory.
- Among the new targets are seats in Kansas, Michigan, and Virginia that Donald Trump carried by around 20 points in 2024. This reflects Democratic confidence in challenging Republicans in deep-red terrain ahead of November elections.
- In Kansas, retired Army Captain Don Coover is challenging GOP freshman Rep. Derek Schmidt, while lawyer Callie Barr faces fifth-term Rep. Jack Bergman in Michigan. These races exemplify the party's push into previously unreachable territories.
- National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Marinella dismissed the expansion in an emailed statement, calling the "battleground" label "wishful thinking." He asserted Republicans continue to outraise and outwork Democrats where the majority will actually be won.
- The Cook Political Report rates seven of the eight new targets as Solid Republican, with the Texas seat rated Likely Republican. Democrats maintain dissatisfaction with Trump's policies, including tariffs, remains a key electoral driver.
