House of Representatives 2026

[Anonymous]

Well past time to begin discussing what may happen in the House in November.

Make your predictions, discuss polls, retirements, primaries, candidates, redistricting etc. here!

Some data points to start us off:

My prediction: Democrats will win back the House but won’t match the 40 seats they flipped in 2018. The support Trump got from young voters and Hispanic voters will crater. A few of the incumbent Republicans I’m most looking forward to waving goodbye to: Mike Lawler, Tom Kean Jr., and Scott Perry.

Of course Dems will sweep the House and could take the Senate too. It’s what happens in the next 6 months that will be interesting. Look for Do Nothing incumbent’s losing their primary to someone who will be a fighter. It’s not a Left vs. moderate fight. It’s old politics vs. new. Voters are sick of corporate Dems with their poll tested campaigns. They want authentic candidates and yes, someone under 70 years old.

Jeffries is annoying and dramatic. I hope he doesn’t end up being speaker.

House could flip before mid-terms. Not mentioned are those leaving mid Congress due to illness or just being fundamentally unhappy. Speaker fails to understand his leadership role and empowering his caucus to fulfill their jobs as opposed to sitting around doing NOTHING. No vision, allowing POTUS to bypass Congress, and then doing the bare minimum.

They don't need to leave Congress to change parties or become independents.

Ballotpedia says no declared candidates yet on either side.

This will never happen. Let’s stay focused on winning in 2026.

Thrilled to hear Perriello is jumping into the race. Big fan.

In re NY, also big fan of Lander, but Golden is fine. In fact, he is great at oversight and I've been impressed with what he supports and where he shows up in NYC.

+1 Dan Goldman is awesome and not someone who I would put in line for a primary, although I also like Lander.

The Republican state insurance commissioner in Georgia seems concerned.
