2022 midterms will decide the future of an investigation into Donald Trump supporters' January 6, 2021 attack. Here's how the races are shaping up.
WASHINGTON -- The House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol is racing against a political clock to get to the bottom of what happened that day, and in the lead-up to the attack.
That said, losses are not a huge concern for Republicans right now. Given the historical trends working in their favor and the fact that President Joe Biden's approval rating is 40% in the latest CNN average of national polls, the national environment seems to be working in their favor. And the uptick in retirement announcements by several longtime Democratic incumbents in recent months is a telling sign they weren't looking forward to serving in the minority.
Some states hold open primaries -- in which candidates from all parties run on the same primary ballot with the top two or four candidates advancing to the general election. One of those states is Alaska, where former governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is running in a special election for the state's at-large seat left vacant by the death last month of Republican Rep. Don Young. Barring any primary surprises, Republicans are expected to hold this seat.
On the same day as the NRCC announcement, House Majority PAC -- the leading Democratic super PAC focused on House races -- publicized TV and digital advertising reservations of more than $100 million across 50 media markets. That's nearly double the amount the group made in initial reservations in 2020.A top focus for Republicans is sure to be the Democratic-held seats that Trump won in 2020. That includes districts represented by Reps.
Republicans were encouraged by their gains with Hispanic voters in 2020 and hope that trend continues this year, especially in places such as Texas' Rio Grande Valley, where several House seats are in play. House Democrats' top defensive holds are incumbents the DCCC calls"Frontline" members. Many of these incumbents have had tough races before, and some of their districts became more favorable in redistricting, although perhaps not enough to ensure a comfortable reelection in a difficult national environment.
