The last-minute maneuvering has the potential, if races break their way, to bring Republicans closer to the 12-seat gain needed to match the party’s post-World War II record of holding 246 House seats. Democrats have withdrawn money recently from some GOP- held districts and redirected it largely to endangered incumbents in an effort to limit GOP gains. “The national numbers have been poor for Democrats for months, but now Republicans are finding potential opportunities in places where previously they didn’t think they had much of a chance,” said Nathan Gonzales of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Po- litical Report. The Republican entrance into additional districts—in Iowa, Ne- vada and elsewhere—adds to evi- dence that voters are making a late turn away from the Demo- cratic party.
