Democrats Expand Battleground Map by Targeting Five Red-leaning House Seats
TL;DR
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added five red-leaning districts to its battleground map (Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, South Carolina, and Virginia’s open 1st District), boosting red-leaning targets to 44 as Democrats push to flip the House. Trump carried all five districts by double digits in 2024, making them uphill wins for Democrats, who cite recent special-election overperformances; Republicans label the expansion as optimistic and note potential Virginia redistricting could shift the race.
