House Democrats poised to expand majority, as Republicans warn against AOC takeover

Democrats are projected to expand their majority in the U.S. House due to an erosion of President Trump‘s support in suburban communities and a fundraising advantage that has allowed Democrats to go on offense in traditionally red districts, election analysts say. 

Democrats won back the House in 2018 by flipping suburbs outside major metropolitan cities like Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Denver and Washington, D.C. 

But two years later, Democrats are not only poised to keep most of their gains, but they’re also marching deeper into red territory in areas outside Cincinnati, St. Louis, Omaha, Phoenix, San Antonio and Indianapolis, said David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report.

“Trump is increasingly radioactive in suburbs that are traditionally conservative,” Wasserman, U.S. House editor for the nonpartisan election analyzing outlet, told Fox News.

“We’re seeing erosion for Republicans in suburbs of smaller and more conservative metro areas … where Republicans are poised to lose seats.”
