A week before Election Day, the list of the 10 most vulnerable House members includes a few new faces, while those on the Senate list remain the same, just in a new order.
Both lists reflect the political climate, which has swung back to favor Republicans following a Democratic surge this summer after the party seized on abortion issues in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The economic issues on which Republicans have focused for much of the year seem to be resonating with voters.
Both parties have also tried to tie opposing candidates to their party leaders — President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Many races remain close, and members of both parties are vulnerable, especially after redistricting made some districts more difficult for members.
