Democrats set sights on traditionally Republican districts ahead of House elections

In a bid to narrow the Republican majority in the House, Democrats are launching campaigns in districts long considered GOP safe havens. Suzan DelBene, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said the effort expands the party's reach into areas once dominated by President Trump. Among the focal points are Kentucky's 6th District, where Democrat Zach Dembo will challenge Trump-backed Ralph Alvarado, and Nevada's 2nd District, featuring Teresa Benitez-Thompson against Republican David Flippo.

Additional targets include South Carolina's 1st District following Rep. Nancy Mace's departure from the primary and Texas's newly redrawn 35th District. While Republican officials label the strategy unrealistic, any notable Democratic performance in these strongholds would indicate a significant national political realignment.
