House Republicans on ‘Offense’: NRCC Chair Tom Emmer Targets 10 More Districts to Take Back House

Sean Moran 4 May 2021

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) said Tuesday that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) will expand their list of target Democrat-controlled districts in their mission to take back the House majority.

The NRCC released its increased list of districts to target after the U.S. Census Bureau announced many swing and Democrat-leaning districts will lose a congressional seat. The reapportionment data will reshape the makeup of congressional districts in a way that could create an opening for Republicans to flip enough districts to take back the House majority during the 2022 midterm elections.

Emmer said that Republicans continue to play on offense now that Democrats have to defend their “socialist” agenda.

“Republicans are on offense all across the country,” Emmer said in a statement Tuesday. “Every House Democrat is facing an uphill battle having to defend their toxic socialist agenda that prioritizes trillion-dollar tax hikes on the middle class, opens our borders, closes our schools and defunds the police.”

The new targeted districts include:

    Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA)
    Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA)
    Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA)
    Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL)
    Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MN)
    Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-NY)
    Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY)
    Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY)
    Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY)
    Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA)

In other words the Republicans are doing the 'we're not as bad as they are' routine again. Brilliant. This guarantees whatever the rats put in place today mostly stays in place.

Always reacting, never initiating. Obviously their definition of ‘on the offense’ is different from mine.

There is no reason we shouldn't pick up 25-30 seats in the midterms.  Well there is a reason why we won't...the GOP is stupid.
