Leading Leftists are in danger of losing their majorities in just a few days. They didn’t think it could get any worse.
But now Democrats are reeling after being blindsided with this nasty surprise.
A few months ago, polls and media personalities were telling the public that a red wave was on the horizon.
But with only a few days left until the midterms, it’s shaping up to me more of a tsunami.
Democrats have failed in debates, with politicians like John Fetterman of Pennsylvania failing to put together a coherent sentence due to a recent stroke.
Biden is almost nowhere to be seen, constantly slipping up in his speeches and leading many to question if he is fit for office.
And the Democrats’ secret weapon seems to be trotting out former President Barack Obama with limited fanfare from their base.
Nothing they’re doing is working, and they just got smacked upside the head with a damning report just days before the elections.
According to Cook Political Report, ten congressional districts have shifted in Republicans’ favor in the last week of campaigns.
Cook Political indicated that many of the congressional districts that President Joe Biden easily won during the past presidential election are at risk of being lost due to underperformance by Democratic governors.
Republicans, on the other hand, are gaining as they focus on increasing crime and skyrocketing inflation.
According to the research, the safest Democrats are in states with no contested statewide campaigns.
The ten districts that changes are the following:
- Rep. Josh Harder (D) in California’s 9th Congressional District went from “Likely Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.”
- Rep. Julia Brownley (D) in California’s 26th Congressional District went from “Solid Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.”
- Rep. Katie Porter (D) in California’s 49th Congressional District went from “Leans Democrat.” to “Toss-up.”
- Rep. Sean Casten (D) in Illinois’s 6th Congressional District went from “Likely Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.”
- Rep. Lauren Underwood (D) in Illinois’ 14th Congressional District went from “Likely Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.”
- Rep. Andy Kim (D) in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District went from “Likely Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.”
- New York’s 3rd Congressional District, an open seat currently held by a Democrat, went from “Lean Democrat” to “Toss-up.”
- New York’s 4th Congressional District, an open seat currently held by a Democrat, went from “Lean Democrat” to “Toss-up.”
- Rep. Joe Morelle in New York’s 25th Congressional District went from “Solid Democrat” to “Likely Democrat.”
- Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, an open seat currently held by a Democrat, went from “Toss-up” to “Lean Republican.”
According to the most current round of district modifications, 212 seats are classified as “Lean Republican,” 188 as “Lean Democrat,” and 35 as “Toss-up.”
With this, if House Republicans win all of the “Lean,” “Likely,” and “Solid” Republican races, the party would only need to win six of the “Toss-up” races to reclaim the House majority. In comparison, the Democrats need to win 29 of the 35 “Toss-up” contests to maintain their majority.
And with Democrats almost at the finish line, it’s not likely they’ll be able to recover in time.
