The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) revealed 37 Democrat-held seats on its radar in 2024, including two open seats held by Democrats.
The Republicans only have a four-seat majority:
“Republicans are in the majority and on offense. We will grow our House majority by building strong campaigns around talented recruits in these districts who can communicate the dangers of Democrats’ extreme agenda,” NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) said in a statement. “These House Democrats should be shaking in their boots.”
Reps. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Katie Porter (D-CA) will leave their seats to run for the Senate.
The Republicans came close to unseating Porter last November. Many on the list only beat their Republican opponent by “less than 1 percentage point.”
The Cook Political Report changed Slotkin’s seat to Toss-Up after she announced her run for the Senate:
As widely expected, three-term Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin launched her bid for Michigan’s open Senate seat on Monday, moving her highly competitive 7th CD in the Lansing area to the top of Republicans’ takeover target board. In 2020, President Biden carried the 7th CD by a single point, 50%-49%. In 2022, Slotkin turned back GOP Army veteran and state Sen. Tom Barrett 52%-46% after outspending him by a massive $11.3 million to $2.7 million.This was the site of the third-most expensive House race in the country in 2022: including outside groups, all parties involved spent $40.8 million in the Lansing and Detroit markets. Democrats will need to spend heavily again here if they want to reclaim the chamber in 2024.
The NRCC spent a lot of money on 19 seats on the list, but the Democrats won only by “a few thousand votes.”
However, the NRCC included a few Democrats who by over 12% points: California Rep. Josh Harder, Florida Rep. Darren Soto, and North Carolina Rep. Jeff Jackson.
