DCCC Adds Three Battleground Candidates to Red to Blue Push, Raising Target to 40
TL;DR
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee expanded its Red to Blue program by adding three battleground candidates—Michigan activist William Lawrence, Alaska fisherman and teacher Bill Hill (running as an independent), and Wisconsin nurse Mitchell Berman—bringing the list to 40 races as Democrats seek at least four net seats to flip the House. Redistricting could favor Republicans, and Lawrence’s past Sunrise Movement ties and controversial comments about Black leaders have drawn scrutiny, though he has apologized and distanced himself from some remarks.
