One month out, Democrats say they are expanding House field.
Democrats are expressing increasing optimism that regaining control of the House is within the party’s grasp.
“We have opportunities everywhere,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene, a Democrat from Washington state and chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “We’re making sure we pick up seats in presidential battleground states like Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan, but I want to point out how vast and geographically diverse the House map is. We’re going on offense in states like New York, California and even Iowa … and Alabama. Those are places that don’t get much national attention, but they illustrate how broad our map is.”
DelBene joined Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison and Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, at a remote press conference Friday, one month out from Election Day.
The GOP gained control of the House in 2022, powered largely by gains in New York and California, states that heavily favor Democrats, particularly in a general presidential election.
