Dems Target Trump Strongholds for House Flip
Clear Facts
- DCCC releases Red to Blue list targeting 12 GOP districts Trump won decisively.

- NRCC blasts candidates as recycled radicals and socialists.
Democrats aim to retake the House by flipping staunch Trump districts. The DCCC prioritizes challengers against Republican incumbents in deeply red areas.
Targets include Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, who won by 18 points, and Arizona Rep. Eli Crane, up nine despite Trump’s 15-point margin.
Iowa Reps. Zach Nunn and Mariannette Miller-Meeks face repeat challengers in Trump-won districts.
“The candidates named to this first round of our Red to Blue program are united by their desire to fight for hardworking families in their districts — not the billionaires bankrolling Republicans’ corrupt and divisive machine,” DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said.
DelBene added they focus on lowering costs unlike Republicans favoring elites.
Other races pit former officials against Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry and others in safe Trump seats.
Redistricting efforts in Virginia add uncertainty but GOP holds firm.
Candidates receive DCCC organizing and fundraising aid.
“Someone needs to buy the DCCC a gift card to help pay for all the lipstick they’re putting on the pig that is their recruitment class,” NRCC spokesperson Mike Marinella said. “Their pathetic list of deeply radical candidates consists of recycled losers, far-left activists, and full-blown socialists who will be soundly rejected by voters across the country.”
Patriots must mobilize to safeguard Republican control against these desperate leftwing assaults.
