These 5 underperforming Republicans are teetering on a cliff’s edge. Trump’s tanking approval could push them over

In 2024, five incumbent Republican members of Congress signficantly underperformed President Donald Trump in their districts. Now, as Trump’s approval rating plummets, Democrats see an opening to win these seats in their quest to win back the House of Representatives.

Republicans have only 217 seats to the Democrats’ 213 due to deaths and resignations. This means Democrats need to win five seats to get the magic number of 218 next cycle. Understandably, they will target seats with Republicans in them now, but in districts where voters went for Kamala Harris.
