| As Democrats make headlines with voter turnout and enthusiasm, Inside Elections is expanding the number of competitive races across the battleground, identifying a number of previously-safe Republican seats now in contention, including CO-03, FL-27, MT-01, NC-11, and TX-23.
These shifts represent the strength of our Democratic candidates and a focus on lowering costs for hardworking families. It also signifies growing discontentment among voters with House Republicans’ litany of broken promises.
As Inside Elections writes, “An excited Democratic base, independent voters turning away from Trump and core Trump supporters potentially staying home are a recipe for large Democratic gains.”
DCCC Communications Director Courtney Rice:
“Americans are tired of House Republicans’ broken promises and endless excuses, and these latest rating shifts from non-partisan race rater Inside Elections demonstrates how Democratic candidates can compete everywhere, even in districts that Trump won by double-digits. House Democrats have the candidates, the resources, and the momentum to take back the House this November and deliver for the American people.” |
