House GOP campaign arm expands target list after brutal night for Dems
By Julia Manchester - 11/03/21 08:40 AM EDT
The National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee expanded its offensive target list on Wednesday morning following Democrat Terry McAuliffe's loss in Virginia's gubernatorial contest and a must closer-than-expected race in New Jersey that was too close to call.
The newest additions to the House Republicans' target list include Reps. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.), Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.), Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.), Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), Darren Soto (D-Fla.), Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.), Frank Mrvan (D-Ind.), David Trone (D-Md.), G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), Annie Kuster (D-N.H.), Teresa Leger-Fernández (D-N.M.), Madeleine Dean (D-Penn.), and Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.).
“In a cycle like this, no Democrat is safe,” said NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer (R-Minn.).“Voters are rejecting Democrat policies that have caused massive price increases, opened our borders, and spurred a nationwide crime wave.”
The expanded target list comes after Republicans sailed to victory up and down the ballot in Virginia.
Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), while lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Winsome Sears and attorney general candidate Jason Miyares defeated their respective Democratic opponents. On top of that, Republicans appear to be on track to gain control of the House of Delegates.
