Siyaset · Six House races shift · ArşivCook Political Report Shifts Six House Races Toward Democrats, Signaling Midterm MomentumYazıldı 7 Eylül 2026 21:22 UTCİzleYayın dökümü0:00A major signal this morning about the0:01battle for control of Congress. The0:03non-partisan Cook Political Report has0:05shifted six House races toward0:07Democrats, including a Texas seat that0:09had been considered safely Republican.0:11Texas' 15th Congressional District is0:13now rated lean Republican, down from0:15likely Republican. That puts incumbent0:17Republican Representative Monica De La0:19Cruz in a tougher fight against0:20Democratic challenger Bobby Pulido. The0:22district stretches from the outskirts of0:24San Antonio down through the Rio Grande0:26Valley. It's one of the most competitive0:28seats in the state. And this rating0:30change reflects a broader national0:32trend. That trend is hard to miss.0:34Across all major non-partisan0:36forecasters, Cook, Sabato's Crystal0:38Ball, and Inside Elections, 92 of the0:41113 House rating changes this cycle have0:43favored Democrats. That is roughly a0:45four to one ratio. Several factors are0:48driving the shift. President Trump's0:50approval ratings remain a headwind for0:52Republican candidates. Tariff policy0:54uncertainty is weighing on voter0:56sentiment in key districts. And a wave0:58of GOP retirements is creating open1:00seats that tilt the playing field1:02further. Those four factors are1:03reshaping the map. Open seats are1:05especially dangerous for the party in1:07power, and Republicans are facing a1:09growing number of them heading into1:10November. Democrats are now narrowly1:13favored to flip the House. The most1:15likely outcome puts them between 214 and1:17228 seats, enough for a majority. In1:20roughly three quarters of scenarios1:22analyzed, Democrats would control the1:24chamber. The Cook Report published these1:26updated ratings on July 16th. With1:28primaries underway and the general1:30election just months away, every rating1:32shift gives campaigns and voters a1:34clearer picture of where the1:35battleground truly is.Makaleyi okuHaberin zaman çizelgesiHeyDexKısa video ↗
