To restore checks and balances to Trump's authoritarian steps it is absolutely essential for Democrats to retake the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. Reclaiming the Senate is a much harder task. At some time in 2026 this page will very likely recommend funding Democratic challengers running against vulnerable Republicans.
Meanwhile, a constructive approach is to assist vulnerable House Democratic incumbents. This positions them to be well-funded in their likely close races against Republican challengers.
Five such vulnerable Democratic incumbents are:
- Adam Gray, California, 13th Congressional District
- Don Davis, NC-01
- Marcy Kaptur, OH-09
- Greg Landsman, OH-01
- Vicente Gonzalez, TX-34
Three of the races are rated as tossups by the Cook Political Report. The other two (NC-01 and OH-09) receive Cook ratings of lean Republican (races that are uphill but Democrats can win). All the races are in redistricted districts where the Democratic incumbents need to introduce themselves to potentially new constituents. All the races except the one in California are in states where key Senate races will also occur in 2026 (so potentially positive spillover effect).
