Report: Path to GOP House Majority Could Go Through Republican WomenJacob Bliss 6 Aug 2021
A recent report claims that the Republicans’ path back into the majority in the House could go through Republican woman candidates after their huge impact in the 2020 election.
The report from CNN indicated that in 2020, Republican women were elected in record numbers, which included some of the most competitive races, like California’s Reps. Young Kim (CA) and Michelle Steel (CA), who both unseated Democrats to win.
“The party sees a recipe for electoral success and is now doubling down on that same strategy in the battle for the House next year,” the report noted. The party aims to keep the current elected Republican woman in place while finding strong Republican woman recruits for key districts the party is looking to flip.
The party’s plan seems to be working. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that in the current election cycle leading up to the midterms, more Republican women announced a prospective run for the House across the country than any other election cycle. A Breitbart News report added:
[M]oves like this fuel the confidence in the party’s plans to send a large number of women to the House, building off their successes in the 2020 election cycle. Despite the current pace of Republican women stepping up to run in the House, Democrats have had more female Members of Congress for years.
In the last election, Republican women were among some of the most anticipated candidates to watch across the nation. Most notably, of the 14 Republican wins over the Democrats on election night, 11 of them were women. That grew the number of Republican women in the House to 31, the highest it’s ever been. The previous congress had only 13 Republican women.
