GOP Plans to Retake the House
[Epoch Times] The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) noted in a memo that the Republican Party is just five seats away from holding a majority in the House of Representatives, saying that the GOP can be competitive in four-dozen districts."We are just a few weeks into the Biden Administration and Americans are already seeing the job-killing initiatives House Democrats support," stated NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer in a release. "We will relentlessly hold House Democrats accountable for their socialist agenda and ensure voters understand the damaging impact policies like defunding the police, government-run health care, and ending the Keystone XL Pipeline will have on Americans’ everyday lives." Emmer noted that in the House, the GOP is "just five seats short of a majority and are prepared to build" on its 2020 success. The list includes 29 districts that either didn’t support President Joe Biden or supported the House incumbent by 5 points or less. The GOP also identified 10 Democrats who might have redistricting issues next year—as well as eight Democratic lawmakers who won by fewer than 10 points and also underperformed Biden. The GOP, Emmer added, "will stay laser-focused on recruiting talented and diverse candidates, aggressively highlighting Democrats’ socialist agenda and raising enough resources to win." During the last election, Democrats lost a total of 11 seats. No House Republican incumbent was defeated, although they picked up three open GOP seats. Posted by: Bobby 2021-02-11 |
