House Democrats Target Five Additional Seats

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has added five Republican-held districts to its 2026 midterm election target list, citing favorable conditions for Democrats following recent special elections. The new targets include Colorado’s 5th, Minnesota’s 1st, Montana’s 1st, Virginia’s 5th, and South Carolina’s 1st districts. Despite some optimism, these districts are rated as leaning or solidly Republican by the Cook Political Report, posing challenges for Democrats. To flip the House, Democrats need to net three seats while Republicans aim to expand their majority.
