Democrats Target 35 GOP Seats in 2026 Midterms to Reclaim House

House Democrats unveil an aggressive strategy to flip Republican-held districts, while Republicans ramp up fundraising led by President Trump.

The Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released a list of 35 Republican-held districts it aims to flip in the 2026 midterm elections.
DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene criticized Republican policies, citing economic challenges, proposed Medicaid cuts, and ties to Trump and Elon Musk as key vulnerabilities.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has targeted 26 Democrat-held seats, highlighting the partisan battle for control of the House.
President Donald Trump is actively fundraising for the NRCC, with a major event expected to raise at least $10 million to defend the GOP's slim majority.
Both parties are focusing on swing districts and vulnerable incumbents, with Democrats launching nominee funding pages and ramping up candidate recruitment efforts.
