House Democrats‘ campaign arm is adding five new Republican seats to its target list for the 2026 midterm elections, bringing the total to 44 districts “in play” for the party as it seeks to turn public opinion in its favor to win back the House majority.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is adding four GOP members and one open seat to its “Districts in Play.” The new targets are Reps. Jeff Crank (R-CO), Brad Finstad (R-MN), Ryan Zinke (R-MT), and John McGuire (R-VA), as well as the seat left vacant by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who is running for governor in 2026.
