Report: Democrats Will Struggle to Keep the House Majority in 2022

A recent report from Politico showed the House Democrats would have a hard time keeping their majority after redistricting finalizes throughout the country.

Democrats are struggling as they try to find candidates to run for office and possibly see no way to expand the seat they are looking to flip due to the redistricting. Additionally, many members are looking to retire or run for higher office. Breitbart News has extensively reported on Pelosi’s majority crumbling.

Politico outlined that the Democrats in the House have spent their last two elections (2018 and 2020) talking about their achievements in unseating members in red districts — which have since gotten more competitive over the years — without realizing the majority of the districts could disappear after redistricting.

The report noted that the Democrats got a hint at what is yet to come “when Republican state lawmakers in Indiana unveiled a draft congressional plan that would transform the state’s most competitive district into a relatively safe red seat.”

Christina Hale, the Democrat who lost against Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) in 2020, told Politico it’s “kneecapping to anyone interested in running” against the Republican. She noted that Spartz’s seat would not be competitive enough for a Democrat to win for years. – READ MORE
