Jeffries said Democrats can overcome a fundraising gap by flipping Trump-won districts, as the party adds eight seats to its target map.
- On Sunday, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said his party is poised to regain the House majority by targeting conservative districts won by President Donald Trump two years ago.
- Defending the Republican majority, House Speaker Mike Johnson is crisscrossing the country and scheduled to visit more than 40 districts across 20 states before November.
- The House Democrats' campaign arm announced late last week it is adding eight districts to its map, including targets in Kansas, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Washington state.
- Republicans face pressure from high gas prices stemming from the war with Iran, while Trump campaigns in red states promising $5,000 dividends and $90 Medicare payments.
- With the House narrowly split, only a few seats will determine which party controls the chamber in the final month before the November 3 midterm elections.
