House Democrats are targeting Republican-held House seats in districts that President Donald Trump won in November, with a goal of taking back control of the House next year. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is focusing on 35 Republican-held seats, citing recent gains in special elections and historical data that suggest a tough midterm election environment for Republicans. Democrats need a net gain of three seats to win the majority in the House. Among the targeted districts are those carried by Vice President Kamala Harris in the last election, as well as battleground districts and districts where Trump won by wider margins. Some Republican incumbents are facing negative headlines or are eyeing higher office, potentially making those seats more competitive. The list also includes districts held by Republicans who are members of the hard-right Freedom Caucus. Democrats are also defending seats that Trump carried, and have named members of the Frontline program for incumbents facing tough races. The DCCC’s target list includes several redder seats and seats held by Republicans looking at higher office, with the possibility of open-seat races being more competitive. The House GOP is also targeting Democratic-held seats, particularly those held by Frontline members. Both parties are gearing up for a competitive election next year, with Republicans aiming to maintain their narrow majority in the House.
