The National Republican Congressional Committee released a list of 47 Democratic-held House districts that it is targeting for 2022, ready to finish the job it started in 2020 chipping away at the Democratic majority and "retire Speaker Pelosi once and for all," as Chairman Tom Emmer put it.
The campaign arm for House Republicans is spotlighting 47 seats currently held by what they consider to be “vulnerable Democrats” that they see as “prime pick-up opportunities” for the GOP in the 2022 midterm elections.
A second tier of targets includes Democrats who won their seats by under 10 percentage points and underperformed Biden. Many of them also represent suburbs that were once GOP-friendly districts but swung hard against Republicans during the Trump era.
A third group includes 10 Democrats whose seats could be changed during redistricting in a way that could make them more competitive for Republicans.
“Republicans have a clear path back to the majority. President Biden, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats will continue to push a radical, partisan agenda that is too extreme for middle-class families,” NRCC Executive Director John Billings wrote in the memo, referring to Nancy Pelosi
