'Democrats are on offense': House Dems' campaign arm adds 5 seats to target list
Source: ABC News
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the campaign arm of House Democrats, said on Tuesday that it is adding five seats to its list of Republican-held districts that it is targeting to flip in the 2026 midterm elections.
The committee, which says it is adding districts won by President Donald Trump in 2024 by 13% or less, is arguing that recent Democratic performances in special elections shows a "sustained, dramatically positive political environment" for Democrats.
"Democrats are on offense, and our map reflects the fact that everyday Americans are tired of Republicans’ broken promises and ready for change in Congress," DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene, of Washington, said in a statement.
The five districts added to the DCCC's "Districts in Play" list -- which now has 44 districts -- include Colorado's 5th congressional district, currently represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank; and Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District, currently held by Republican U.S. Rep. Brad Finstad.
