A total of 18 House races have shifted toward the Democrats ahead of the crucial 2026 midterms, according to The Cook Political Report.
Newsweek contacted the White House and the Democratic National Committee for comment via email.
Why It Matters
The Cook Political Report’s recent shift in ratings for 18 U.S. House races towards Democrats indicates momentum ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
These changes could influence party control of the House, with Democrats needing just three more seats to secure a majority, according to the new analysis.

This is why the administration needs to act with urgency—while it can—on all issues.
They must act as if they only have a year left to get anything done.
Voting for Democrats is voting for lawlessness, uncontrolled immigration, corruption, more spending and higher taxes. Some people must like that.
Our side is going to stay home.
The thing is, I don’t think Trump really cares all that much what happens to the Republicans.
Cook Reports?
Or Cooked Reports?
America First needs to be the utmost highest priority as there are plenty of problems right here at home in need of urgent attention. There’s too much focus on endless foreign distractions and its going to hurt Republicans in the mid-terms IMO.
Maybe, but VERY SHORT SIGHTED! The dems will set the stage for Civil War if they get control.
I will crawl through a field of broken glass to vote for (even poor) GOP candidates.
Agreed that domestic stuff has to be top priority—foreign policy can wait.
Better not, especially in the swing States. The MI races are looking good as are the GA races.
18 locations in the US where white liberal females, low IQ hispanics, and blacks predominate the voting public. They act irresponsibly and vote irresponsibly and are gullible to the Democrat dishonest tactics. Unless something is done to right this boat, we are going to sink with their actions.

I have never understood that mentality. It is that kind of short sighted stupidity that gave Labour a vote confidence proof majority in England.
A lot can happen before November. But get out and vote. Twice, if you can.
Don’t sweat it...10 months is a lifetime in politics. The Republicans are going to be just fine.
I would also suggest a review of what you embrace as your reading material.
It’s never fun to hear bad news but in this case the MAGA base needs to sober up to the possibility of impending doom. Trump certainly knows that a democrap House means he becomes a gelding for his last 2 years.
Faggots.
People think it’s the ethically “pure” thing to do.
Sometimes in life the only choices are the “bad” choice, and the “even worse” choice.
But you’d still better make the “bad” choice. And like Neil said, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”
The pearl clutchers are out early this morning. Go to the Cook Political Report (the Newsweek referenced poll), and the first seat talked about is Crockett in Texas. It states that both her and Tallarico are much behind three republican candidates. Another story where the headline doesn’t come close to the actual article, in this case, poll.

I don’t know, I don’t think Trump is as worried about it as people here think.
He got a second chance at the White House only because the Democrats tried to impeach him. Had they not done that, most likely he would have been finished.
I say the same about Clinton, too. Impeaching him gave him new life.
