Following internal projections that Democrats are on track to win 260 seats for the 120th Congress, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement:
“The historic size of this majority says it all. House Democrats stand ready to deliver on the promises we made to the American people, from lowering costs to cleaning up rampant Republican corruption in DC. Thanks to our incredible, independent-minded candidates who ran locally-focused campaigns on the issues that mattered to their communities, House Democrats and candidates have made history: reelecting all of our vulnerable Frontline members and winning more than three-fourths of our battlefield districts overall, thereby delivering the largest House majority this century.”
The final winning stats:
- Won 71 out of 92 districts on our battlefield, including:
- Reelecting all 26 of our Frontline members;
- Flipping 34 of our Red to Blue districts, compared to 11 won by Republicans;
- Winning eleven of our additional Districts in Play, compared to nine won by Republicans;
- Of the 77 battleground districts that Trump won in 2024, Democrats have so far won 56 races, compared to 20 by Republicans.
- Democrats won 30 seats in districts that Trump carried by double digits in 2024.
- Of the 45 districts that have flipped red to blue, only four were NOT on the DCCC’s battlefield (NC-05, NC-06, NC-14, TN-04), an indication of just how expansive we knew the map to be ahead of election night.
