House Democrats are targeting districts that President Donald Trump won handily in the 2020 election as they aim to take back control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has identified 35 Republican-held House seats as their top targets, with a focus on special election gains indicating a challenging environment for Republicans. Democrats need a net gain of three seats to secure the majority, with historical data suggesting that the president’s party typically loses seats in midterm elections.
The target list includes districts carried by Trump in the last election, as well as some with recent histories of Democratic representation. The DCCC is also eyeing Republican-leaning seats where incumbents have faced negative headlines or are considering higher office, potentially making open-seat races more competitive.
While Democrats are aiming to make gains, they are also defending seats in districts won by Trump. The DCCC recently named 26 members of its Frontline program for incumbents facing tough races, while the House GOP is targeting Democratic-held seats in an effort to preserve its narrow majority. Both parties are gearing up for a competitive election cycle, with Republicans emphasizing their offensive strategy and Democrats focused on reclaiming control of the House.
