Democrats Add 6 House Races to Their 2026 'Red to Blue' Target List
The committee’s expanded list gives six House hopefuls fundraising help and training as Democrats aim for a three-seat majority gain.
- On Monday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added six candidates to its 'Red to Blue' program, expanding the total to 46 Democrats seeking to flip GOP-favored House seats before the midterm elections.
- These six candidates are running in districts that President Donald Trump won by an average of at least 16 percentage points in 2024, as Democrats seek to capitalize on voter concerns about the economy and Republican incumbents.
- DCCC Chairwoman Rep. Suzan DelBene argued the candidates are 'winning over voters with their message of lowering costs,' as inflation remains above 3 percent. Candidates must meet benchmarks for grassroots engagement to qualify.
- National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Mike Marinella criticized the expansion, claiming the DCCC 'is stretching its map a mile wide and an inch deep.' He argued Democrats lack resources to match Republicans in these contests.
- Democrats currently hold 215 House seats and need a net gain of three to secure a 218-seat majority. Decision Desk HQ gives the party a 76 percent chance to win back the chamber as Election Day approaches.
