After massive rejection of Trumpism, Democrats expand offensive to take back House
Source: Washington Post
House Democratic strategists, convinced that Tuesdays results represent a massive voter uprising against Trumpism that will continue through next year, are adding nearly a dozen new GOP districts to their list of 2018 takeover targets, in an effort to expand the map to keep pace with the rapid deterioration of the GOPs political fortunes.
One of those targets, Im told: House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Later today, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will release a new memo on the state of the House map that details the new targets, and this blog obtained an advance look at the new list. In addition to Wisconsins 1st District, which is held by Ryan, they include:
Four open seats: Ohios 12th District, Pennsylvanias 11th District, Pennsylvanias 15th District, and Texas 21st District, where Rep. Pat Tiberi, Lou Barletta, Charlie Dent, and Lamar Smith are retiring.
Utahs 4th District the seat held by Rep. Mia Love
New Yorks 2nd District the seat held by Pete King
Indianas 9th District the seat held by Trey Hollingsworth
Californias 4th District the seat held by Tom McClintock
Washington States 5th District the seat held by Cathy McMorris Rodgers
Wisconsins 6th District the seat held by Glenn Grothman
