House GOP Ups 2022 Midterm Targets to 75 Seats Held by Democrats

The National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting a whopping 75 Democratic-held House seats as the GOP aims to win a governing majority in the midterm elections.

The NRCC updated its already massive list of targeted House seats on Thursday, adding four Democratic-controlled districts to the collection of those it believes are ripe for a Republican takeover this fall.

Included in this expanded group of 75 is New York’s 17th Congressional District, where Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, is running for reelection, plus seats in Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, respectively.
