Democrats had a disappointing election night, but downballot candidates might have something to look forward to when they run again without Vice President Kamala Harris on the ticket.
An initial analysis from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee found congressional candidates for competitive House seats overperformed Harris in the 2024 general election among Hispanic, black, and non-college-educated voters in counties within battleground districts.
While Republicans are hanging on to their slim majority in the House, some Democratic candidates, even if they did not win, overperformed Harris in key districts, some of which President-elect Donald Trump won.
In districts that Democratic members of Congress held that the DCCC invested money in to defend the seat, candidates overall overperformed Harris by an average of 2.7 percentage points.
