NRCC Targets 26 Democrats in 2026 Midterms Strategy

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has set its sights on 26 House Democrats for the 2026 midterm elections, aiming to expand their majority by targeting districts that are deemed vulnerable. This list includes districts that President Trump carried in the last election, with a significant focus on areas with large Hispanic populations and historically Republican-leaning states. The NRCC, confident in maintaining control, emphasizes that Democrats are out of touch with the electorate. Meanwhile, Democrats need a net gain of three seats to regain the majority, but face more vulnerable incumbents than Republicans. Despite these efforts, some analysts predict that recent redistricting could mitigate dramatic shifts in power. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) also released a similar list, suggesting bipartisan agreement on the vulnerability of certain seats.
