Six more Democrats in competitive races have announced they will not attend the Democratic National Convention this week, where Vice President Kamala Harris will be named her party’s presidential nominee. 

Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME), Mary Sattler Peltola (D-AK), Yadira Caraveo (D-CO), Val Hoyle (D-OR), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) are skipping the DNC. The news could indicate that Democrats in tough battles to keep their seats believe aligning themselves with Harris could hurt their chances of winning reelection.
