House Democrats expand ‘red to blue’ program with Harris at top of ticket

EXCLUSIVE — House Democrats’ main campaign arm is expanding its “Red to Blue” fundraising program as the 2024 primary cycle comes to a close, with the party looking to flip several competitive seats and take control of the lower chamber next year.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is adding three candidates to its program, which is designed to flip several red districts to Democratic control in November. The expansion marks the latest additions since Vice President Kamala Harris became the party’s presidential nominee earlier this month, signaling confidence among Democrats that her presence on the ticket will boost candidates in down-ballot races.
