In case you missed it, Inside Elections has shifted another 12 districts in favor of House Democrats. These districts run the gambit, ranging from areas where Clinton performed well to districts that President Trump won by double digits. The message is clear: Democrats are on offense deep into the map while House Republicans are alienating swing voters and failing to recruit top-tier candidates.
“With the House firmly in play in 2018, incredible Democratic candidates from all walks of life are stepping up to run on the largest battlefield we’ve seen in a decade,” said DCCC Spokesman Tyler Law. “The momentum behind House Democrats has grown stronger with every passing week while House Republicans are languishing in their spectacular failure to get anything done with unified control of Washington.”
