The National Republican Congressional Committee is plotting a sprawling battlefield in 2024, naming 37 Democrat-held House districts to its initial list of targets.
It’s an ambitious strategy in a presidential year, when House results are often closely correlated with top-of-the-ticket margins. The last three presidential elections — all close by historical standards — saw flips of six to 14 seats in the House.
"Whatever mind-altering drugs the folks over at the NRCC are on, I definitely want some,” one Democratic strategist quipped., lists 37 districts held by Democrats "that represent prime pick-up opportunities for Republicans," according to an NRCC press release. "Republicans are in the majority and on offense," said NRCC Chair Richard Hudson in a statement. "These House Democrats should be shaking in their boots."
The list features several members who won by double digits in 2022, including Reps. Josh Harder , Sharice Davids and Dan Kildee . All but five of the districts voted for President Biden in 2020 — though several in Ohio and North Carolina could become more GOP-friendly in redistricting.
