🚨 Inside Elections: Eight Districts Move in Democrats’ Favor

75 days out from the midterm elections, Democrats continue to build momentum towards victory. New projections from the non-partisan race-rater Inside Elections shift the battleground map even further in Democrats’ favor, including five Republican-held districts.

  • TX-15 – Monica De La Cruz: Lean R → Tilt R
  • CO-05 – Jeff Crank: Likely R → Lean R
  • KY-06 – OPEN: Solid R → Likely R
  • NV-02 – OPEN: Solid R → Likely R
  • SC-01 – OPEN: Solid R → Likely R

Earlier today, the DCCC added five candidates including Zach Dembo (KY-06) and Nancy Lacore (SC-01) to the highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program for the 2026 cycle, where they will receive strategic guidance, staff resources, training, and fundraising support to ensure they are in the best possible position to win in November.

DCCC Communications Director Courtney Rice: 
“Voters across the country are tired of seeing rising prices on everything from gas and groceries to health care and housing, and they’re fed up with House Republicans for breaking their promise to lower costs. These ratings shifts show that Democrats have the momentum to win in November and deliver on an agenda that puts the American people first.”
