In the closing hours of the 2024 election, House Democrats are making their final case to the American people.
After years of House Republicans’ chaos, extremism, and dysfunction, House Democrats and candidates are prepared to put people over politics and fight for lower costs, affordable health care, a strong middle class, and reproductive freedom.
See more from Chair DelBene about Democrats’ strong closing argument to the American people below:
We hear nothing but chaos and dysfunction and extremism from the Republican side… People want to see governance work in these important districts all across the country. We have great candidates. We have the resources to get their message out. We’ve been talking to voters, and all that is a great reason why we’ll take back the majority.
We are fighting to move our country forward, fighting for the American people. You’ve seen this Congress, the chaos, dysfunction, and extremism… but the reason we kept getting through those was because Democrats stood up in the minority to help move legislation to keep the government running… In the majority, with the gavels, we’ll continue to do that: to focus on governing and getting things done.
This election is fundamentally about our rights, our freedoms, our democracy and our future. With so much on the line, we will hold House Republicans accountable for their extremism and their Do-Nothing Congress. We will turn promises into progress, delivering for working families and moving our country forward.
“We’re in a really strong position … Just incredible energy, enthusiasm on the ground,” Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., told NBC News by phone from Washington. “So we’re still going to work hard all through today to get out every vote. I do think there are a lot of crossover Republicans that we’re going to see in districts across the country that may not be in a lot of people’s numbers.”
DelBene spent the weekend along the I-80 corridor of Iowa and Nebraska, far from the roughly 10 districts in New York and California that have drawn the most attention this election. She said if Democrats win the majority, it will be because voters in these places broke away from Republicans over both their chaotic governance of the House and the laws restricting abortion rights in Iowa and Nebraska.
DelBene said that her endangered incumbents will win reelection “because they are strong, independent voices for their communities, and people know that.” The DCCC chair added that “voters want to see governance work” and “that’s a big reason they win in these purple districts.”
