Cook Political Report on Friday moved its outlook for 20 House races toward Democrats.
Why it matters: President Trump’s troubles are spilling over to affect Republicans down the ballot — which could foreshadow a blue wave in November.
- Dave Wasserman, Cook’s House editor, tweeted: “I can’t recall the last time we moved so many races at once, let alone in the same direction.”
The big picture: Trump is notably trailing Joe Biden in the polls — by double digits, in many cases — less than four months before the election.
- Earlier this month, Cook forecasted that November could bring “a Democratic tsunami than simply a blue wave.”
