Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election forecaster, shifted seven congressional races on Wednesday toward Democrats less than five weeks left before the midterm elections.
Among the shifts, Cook moved two races that were previously considered “toss-ups†to "lean Democrat."
One is the race in Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District, where Rep. Kevin Yoder (R) is facing a tough reelection. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has canceled more than $1 million in advertising in the coming weeks that had been aimed at bolstering Yoder’s campaign.
Cook also reclassified Michigan’s 11th Congressional District as “lean Democrat†after it was previously considered a “toss-up.†Incumbent Rep. David Trott (R) is not seeking reelection, setting up a race between Haley Stevens (D) and Lena Epstein (R).
