As Democrats Eye Big Midterm Wins, Republicans Look to Turn the Tables in some House Districts
Republicans are banking on $10 million from a Trump-aligned PAC and gains from redistricting and immigration messaging, aides said.
Republicans are targeting key House districts ahead of the November 3 election, leveraging redistricting, immigration messaging, and MAGA Inc., President Donald Trump's campaign war chest holding more than $400 million in July.
Redistricting efforts, urged by Trump to help his party retain House control, reshaped Ohio's first district where Democratic Rep. Greg Landsman faces Republican Eric Conroy, a former Air Force veteran and CIA officer.
In New Mexico, Republican Greg Cunningham, a Marine veteran and former police officer, challenges Democratic Rep. Gabe Vasquez on border security as the race tests Trump's appeal with Hispanic voters, 43% of whom supported him nationally.
National organizations are pumping cash into competitive contests; the No Going Back Pac pledged $10 million to support John E. Sununu's Senate bid, while composer Marty O'Donnell challenges Democratic Rep. Susie Lee in Nevada.
With Election Night approaching on November 3, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Aidan Johnson asserts his party remains "firmly on offense" and on track to take back the House majority.
