House Dems unveil initial GOP targets in 2020

The House Democrats’ campaign arm on Monday unveiled its initial list of Republican targets as Democrats work to protect their House majority in 2020.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced it’ll initially focus on 33 GOP-held districts that range from key swing districts to districts that President Trump easily carried in 2016 but now may be within reach.
Many of these 2020 targets were also key seats in the 2018 cycle, including GOP Reps. Rob Woodall (Ky.), Don Bacon (Neb.), George Holding (N.C.), Ted Budd (N.C.), Andy Barr (Ky.) and Steve Chabot (Ohio).
The DCCC is making a big early bet on Texas after Democrats made two gains in House seats in suburban Houston and Dallas. The committee is targeting six GOP representatives in seats that Democrats lost by only a few points in 2018.
The committee is also putting targets on two GOP lawmakers under federal indictment, including Reps. Duncan Hunter (Calif.) and Chris Collins (N.Y.).
