This morning, the DCCC unveiled 12 new offensive additions to House Democrats’ Districts in Play for the 2026 cycle, bringing the total number of districts to 58.
The latest additions to the Districts in Play list include four open seats as a result of the historic GOP retirements, four districts in states that were gerrymandered by Donald Trump’s corrupt power grab, and the Chair of the NRCC.
DCCC Spokesperson Liam Buckley: “As House Republicans add to their long list of broken promises, Democrats are adding to the battlefield, expanding our map to include 12 districts where Republicans have failed to deliver for hardworking families. With 90 days until the midterms, Democrats are firmly on offense and have the message, money, and momentum to win the majority in November.”

With 90 days until the midterms, the DCCC is adding 12 Republican-held districts to its offensive battlefield, bringing its target list up to 58 seats.
The expansion puts several prominent Republicans in Democrats’ sights, notably including Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th, Victoria Spartz in Indiana’s 5th, French Hill in Arkansas’ 2nd, while also adding Tony Gonzales’ now open border seat in Texas’ 23rd, as Democrats bet voter backlash has put even Trump territory in play.
The move brings the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s list of targets to 58, an ambitious list that reflects Trump’s diminished standing with the electorate and Democrats’ belief that they can capitalize on voters’ frustrations over the economy, the war in Iran and the chaotic nature of the Republican president’s second administration.
The expansion spans from GOP-held districts in swing states like Nevada to those in Republican strongholds Indiana, Arkansas and Tennessee and Democratic-dominated New York. The list includes DelBene’s counterpart at the National Republican Congressional Committee, Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina.
