Cook Report Moves 8 House Seats Toward Republicans

As noted previously, Republicans are predicted to at least take the House of Representatives and very possibly the Senate as well. The question will be by how much and what margin of victory the GOP will possibly see in November.

With all the indicators pointing toward a red wave gathering before Election Day, it comes as no surprise that several close House seats continue to move toward an increasing chance for Republican wins around the country, per Axios:

The Cook Political Report shifted eight House races toward Republicans in the nonpartisan prognosticator’s latest ratings published Wednesday.

Why it matters: The moves reflect an increasingly tough midterm cycle for Democrats — who are panicking over a potential electoral tsunami this November, Axios’ Alayna Treene reports.

“That means no Democrat in a single-digit Biden (or Trump-won) district is secure, and even some seats Biden carried by double-digit margins in 2020 could come into play this fall, giving the GOP surprising ‘reach opportunities,'” per the Cook Political Report.
