Story summary

On Friday, the Cook Political Report shifted ratings for 18 midterm election races in favor of Democratic candidates, just over a month before Election Day. This shift is significant as it predicts that Democrats are likely to flip between 9 to 19 seats, potentially leading them to hold 224 to 234 seats in the House in 2027. Specifically, the report moved four races previously leaning Republican into toss-up status: Iowa’s open 2nd Congressional District; Michigan's 4th Congressional District; North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District; and Virginia’s 1st Congressional District. These changes could impact specific races like Michigan’s 4th, where incumbent Rep. Bill Huizenga faces a tough challenge from Democratic former state rep Sean McCann, and Virginia’s 1st, contested by Republican Rep. Rob Wittman.
