House Republicans target 26 Democratic districts for the 2026 cycle

House Republicans are targeting 26 districts heading into the 2026 midterm elections as the party insists that it is on “offense” to keep and expand its razor-thin majority.

The National Republican Congressional Committee announced its list of congressional districts held by Democrats, including 13 that were won by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The list comes as Republicans face a daunting task to keep the majority in the midterm elections, a cycle in which, historically, the House flips to the party opposite the White House.
