The U.S. House's November battlefield continues to take shape as Republicans and Democrats battle for control of Congress at the polls.
Political headwinds have recently shifted in eight close House races around the country. With less than two months until Election Day, Democrats continue to ride a wave of enthusiasm for their new presidential nominee. Six races have shifted in Democrats’ favor, while just two are looking better for Republicans, according to a nonpartisan analysis by the Cook Political Report. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.
Two of the races that inched toward the left are in districts President Biden won in 2020 but are held by GOP representatives Don Bacon, R-Neb., and Michelle Steele, R-Calif. Both their ratings switched from 'lean Republican' to 'toss up.' Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, who flipped her seat from red to blue in 2020, saw her race move from 'likely' victory for Republicans to only leaning in their favor.
That's true, and we've seen the fundraising on the Democrat side just go through the roof. And so I've warned my candidates and my colleagues in the Congress that we've got to step up and continue doing the things we need to do to win,' Hudson said at the time. He said the response from House Republicans has been 'great,' adding, 'Everyone stepped up. We had a number of people pledge more money to the committee. … I think folks are ready for the fight.
