Revision as of 15:27, November 24, 2021

Current U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, seen here violating face mask protocols in Salongate.

Punchbowl reported: "As the Afghanistan crisis unfolded this week, vulnerable Democrats -- and those lawmakers running for other offices -- are walking a fine line on the issue. They’re stuck between a need to express their dismay at the debacle in Kabul and their desire to avoid sharply criticizing President Joe Biden. As a result, reading their statements is an instructive exercise in how endangered lawmakers are trying to thread that needle. A common theme we noticed is Democrats saying they’re horrified about the situation in the Southwest Asian nation, which is followed immediately by an acknowledgement that the “blame game” should take place at some future, unspecified date."[1]

American Action Network surveyed Americans in 7 middle-of-the-road congressional districts to gauge voter sentiment about economic proposals being considered in Congress. The data show the left's "Build Back Better" agenda is viewed as toxic, and Americans believe the liberal $3.5 trillion spending proposal will only increase the economic pain families are already feeling.[2]

A former strategist for the Clintons has admitted that Democrats may lose its appeal to suburban voters, stating that the party:[3]

...have gone too far to the left on key issues for educated suburban voters.

—Mark Penn, former Clinton adviser and pollster

Amidst strong speculations of a red wave in 2022, Republican congressional leader Tom Emmer of Minnesota's 6th district posed an ultimatum to swing district Democrat representatives:[4]

Vulnerable House Democrats have a choice to make over Thanksgiving. Retire or lose.

—Tom Emmer, November 2021

California

CA–3 district

Incumbent white privileged[Citation Needed] Democrat John Garamendi is running for re-election.[5]

Florida

FL–7th district

Rep. Stephanie Murphy expressed regret for the situation and said the United States should have acted differently -- without specifying an entity or leader to blame:[6]

The situation in Afghanistan is heartbreaking. I recognize there are no easy choices here, but the U.S. should have done more to prevent this worst-case scenario. Now we must do whatever we can to support our Afghan allies and protect our national security interests.

—Murphy, August 17, 2021

FL–10th district (open)

Establishment Democrat Val Demings, a Democrat Senate candidate running against Marco Rubio, released a five-tweet statement on Afghanistan that failed to mention Biden once. Instead, Demings praised the U.S. military and pledged to support national security personnel:[7]

Our immediate priority must be ensuring the safety and security of our troops, diplomats, aid workers, and the many Afghans who served with us. They were instrumental in supporting America and our allies, and we need to do everything we can for them.

—Demings, August 16, 2021

Illinois

IL–16 district

Adam Kinzinger, the staunchly anti-Trump Republican representative from Illinois' 16th congressional district, is retiring from the House.[8]

Iowa

Cindy Axne Official Portrait.jpg

IA–3rd district

Following consideration on potentially seeking to replace Kim Reynolds as Governor of Iowa, Democrat Cindy Axne announced her reelection bid.[9][10] The congressional district is a key swing race, as Axne in 2020 narrowly defeated Republican predecessor David Young[11] (who sought his old seat) while Donald Trump carried the district by a 0.1% margin over Biden in the same presidential election.[12]

The rural counties in the area strongly lean Republican, although the suburbs of Des Moines and West Des Moines have shifted towards the Democrats in recent years. The current abysmal approval rating Iowa voters throughout the state have of White House officeholder Biden may indicate a significant shift of the race towards the GOP.[13]

IA–3 Democrat primary

IA–3 Republican primary

Massachusetts

MA–6th district

Democrat Seth Moulton is seeking re-election. In August 2021, Moulton traveled to Afghanistan along with Republican Rep. Peter Meijer to see for themselves the Biden regime's botched withdrawal effort and resulting humanitarian crisis after the Fall of Kabul.[14]

Maine

Jared Golden, official portrait, 116th congress.jpg Bruce Poliquin official photo.jpg

Golden (left) and Poliquin (right).

ME–2 district

Incumbent left-wing Democrat Jared Golden, who seeks re-election,[15] is challenged by Republican predecessor Bruce Poliquin.[16] Political experts viewed Poliquin's August 2021 announcement as interesting due to his timing in attempting to make a political comeback,[17] having been defeated for re-election in the 2018 midterms due to Maine's then-newly enacted ranked-choice voting.

ME–2 Democrat primary

Golden is facing a challenge from Democrat Michael Sutton, who is running to his left as a hard-core progressive in seeking to deny renomination in the upcoming Democrat primary.[18]

Some left-wing constituents in the district have expressed their disdain for Golden following his vote against the "Build Back Better Act" spending bill, setting up a potentially formidable intraparty battle.[19]

ME–2 Republican primary

In July 2021, 27 year-old state senator Trey Stewart from District 2 announced his run for the seat against Golden.[20] Following Poliquin's announced bid, Stewart dropped out of the race and endorsed the former GOP representative as a gesture of party unity, stating in a news release:[21]

Although I was very excited to run, and feel that I could go toe-to-toe with the incumbent, I’ve decided to withdraw from the race out of deference to my friend and mentor, Congressman Bruce Poliquin.

—Trey Stewart, August 2021

Maryland

MD–1st district

Andy Harris of MD.jpg

Andy Harris, the strongly conservative GOP congressman representing Maryland's 1st congressional district that has been solidly Republican in past election cycles, is facing re-election in a newly drawn district. Democrats in the state with a notorious reputation for partisan gerrymandering are currently attempting to deny him re-election by redrawing boundary lines making the district significantly more liberal.[22]

The effort to gerrymander Maryland's 1st district has even drawn criticism from Democrats; a Democrat who ran against Harris in 2020 commented:[23]

The cost is more than just one congressional seat. Voters aren't going to forget this, and there's going to be a price to pay.

—Allison Galbraith, Democrat contender against Harris in 2020

Michigan

MI–3rd district

House portrait of Meijer.

Republican Peter Meijer has not yet announced his intent for the 2022 midterms. In August 2021, Meijer traveled to Afghanistan along with Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton to see for themselves the Biden regime's botched withdrawal effort and resulting humanitarian crisis after the Fall of Kabul.

MI–3 Republican primary

Meijer has elicited substantial criticism from conservatives after voting to impeach President Trump over the 2021 Capitol riot that the latter did not participate in. John Gibbs, a former official for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is running to deny Meijer renomination and received Trump's endorsement:[24]

John Gibbs is a fabulous talent who loves the State, our Military, and our Vets. He will always protect our Second Amendment, our Southern Border, and the Police – there will be no defunding with John!

—Trump, November 2021

MI–8th district

Elissa Slotkin, official portrait, 116th Congress (cropped).jpg

Incumbent liberal Democrat Elissa Slotkin has not made clear whether she would run for re-election. A deceitful denier of far-left domestic terrorism, Slotkin claims that Antifa is an "ideology" and are "boogeyman who aren't there."[25] In September 2020, Slotkin vowed not to leave Washington, D.C. until a coronavirus relief bill was negotiated.[26] She was soon spotted leaving for an airport to return head home without such legislation successfully pushed through, and replied "no comment" when questioned by a reporter.[27]

Slotkin supports the Iran nuclear deal which gave $150 billion to the Middle Eastern country and lifted sanctions.[28] In late September 2021, it was reported that Iran violated agreements with a nuclear inspection agreement involving the United Nations.[29]

At one point, Slotkin vowed to oppose a massive spending bill if it could not be "fully paid for"; she ultimately voted to pass it despite a projection by the Congressional Budget Office that it would contribute a deficit of $160 billion.[30]

MI–8 Republican primary

Mike Bishop, who represented the congressional district before losing to Slotkin in the 2018 midterms, expressed interest in potentially running to reclaim his old House seat.[31]

MI–11th district

Rep. Haley Stevens has not yet announced her intent on whether to seek re-election in the 2022 elections. Stevens has been called a "coward" by a constituent for declining to give her stance on critical race theory,[32] which a majority of Americans oppose.[33]

Missouri

BLM agitator Cori Bush.
Cori Bush led the BLM protest outside Patricia and Mark McCloskey's home.[34]

MO–1st district

Democrat socialist Cori Bush is running for reelection. Bush led an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.[35]

MO–1 Democrat primary

MO–1 Republican primary

New Hampshire

NH–1 district

Incumbent Democrat representative Chris Pappas of New Hampshire's 1st congressional district has not yet made clear his political intentions for the 2022 midterms, though signified his intention on seeking re-election.[36]

NH–1 Republican primary

At least half a dozen Republican candidates have joined the House race with the hope of obtaining the nomination and potentially unseating Rep. Pappas.[37] This includes Matt Mowers, who unsuccessfully challenged Pappas in 2020.

New Jersey

NJ–5 district

Josh Gottheimer official portrait.jpg

Josh Gottheimer, the incumbent left-wing Democrat congressman from New Jersey's fifth congressional district, is facing re-election in a potentially tight race, having won re-election by less than ten points in 2020 even though it was marked as a "safe" hold. The sharp shift in the state as a whole towards the GOP in the 2021 gubernatorial election may signify a possible tossup.

Gottheimer, an acolyte of Hillary Rodham Clinton, has reportedly invested in firms linked to the Chinese Communist Party.[38]

NJ–5 Republican primary

Nick De Gregorio, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, announced in November 2021 his run for the House seat to oust Gottheimer, stating in a video:[39]

Washington is leaderless. It's run by career politicians, radicals, socialists, who care more about their own political agenda than they do about the people that they've sworn an oath to serve.

I swore an oath too, and this is not what I fought for. History will define us by what we do right here and now for the next generation of Americans. The fight for our future is not in some distant land anymore. It's right here at home. Now is the time to beat back socialism. Now is the time to safeguard our God given rights and liberties.

—Nick De Gregario, November 2021

Two other Republican candidates, 2020 nominee Frank Pallotta and Sussex County school board member Nicholas D'Agostino, have also announced their runs for the seat.[39]

NJ–7 district

Tom Malinowski, official portrait.jpg

Incumbent Democrat representative Tom Malinowski, a rubber stamp for Biden,[40] is running for re-election.[41] In early March 2021, Malinowski violated federal law by failing to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock transactions, despite being a transparency advocate.[42]

Malinowski said in April 2020 amidst the early phases of the coronavirus pandemic:[43]

This is not the time for anybody to be profiting off of selling ventilators, vaccines, drugs, treatments, PPE (personal protective equipment), anywhere in the world.

During his stock trades, particularly in "short-selling," Malinowski benefited financially from medical companies and traded around one million dollars as Americans suffered from COVID-19.[43] The House Ethics Committee finally started investigated his trades in early September 2021.[44]

According to The Washington Free Beacon, Malinowski once lobbied for the release of Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay.[45]

NJ–7 Republican primary

Republican state legislator Thomas "Tom" Kean, Jr., who unsuccessfully ran against Malinowski in the 2020 House elections and very narrowly lost, is seeking a rematch to potentially oust the incumbent representative.[46] Backed by the NRCC "Young Guns" program, Kean has stated:[47]

I am running for Congress to be a leader in stabilizing affordability, inspiring economic growth and building infrastructure in North Jersey. Thank you to Leader McCarthy and the NRCC for believing in that mission. New Jersey deserves a Congressman who will serve with integrity and always put their best interests first. We will defeat Tom Malinowski.

—Tom Kean, Jr., November 2021

New York

NY-14 district

Incumbent socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seeks reelection. Tina Forte, also known as Bronx Tina on social media, is running in the Republican primary.[48]

Ohio

OH–16 district (open)

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, who voted to impeach Trump, is retiring.

Anthony Gonzalez, the current establishment Republican representing Ohio's 16th congressional district, is not running for re-election.[49]

In January 2021, Gonzalez was one of ten Republican representatives to support impeaching Trump over the Capitol riot which the latter took no part in, drawing backlash from many conservatives. Prior to the announced retirement, former White House aide Max Miller announced his intent to run for the seat, receiving Trump's endorsement.[50]

In his retirement announcement, Gonzalez lashed out at Trump, who responded in a statement:[51]

RINO Congressman Anthony Gonzalez, who has poorly represented his district in the Great State of Ohio, has decided to quit after enduring a tremendous loss of popularity, of which he had little, since his ill-informed and otherwise very stupid impeachment vote against the sitting President of the United States, me.

—Trump, September 2021

A number of Never Trumpers lamented of Gonzalez's retirement, including former establishment representatives Barbara Comstock and Charlie Dent, in addition to a strategist for Joe Walsh.[52]

OH–16 Republican primary

Although Miller initially intended on seeking election from the 16th congressional district, he later announced in mid-November 2021 that he would run from another district.[53]

Oklahoma

Markwayne Mullin official photo.jpg

OK–2nd district

Republican Markwayne Mullin is running for reelection to a sixth House term.[54] Mullin personally flew to Afghanistan to try rescuing an American woman and her four children left behind by the Biden regime,[55] a move opposed by both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican leader Kevin McCarthy.[56]

Mullin later confirmed that the evacuation effort was successful.[57]

Rhode Island

Democrat James R. "Jim" Langevin blasted the Biden regime in a Foreign Policy op-ed, concluding the Kabul debacle was a “catastrophe” caused by Biden’s negligence. “This negligence was par for the course for the last U.S. administration. I am disappointed to see it now. At minimum, the Biden administration owed our Afghan allies of 20 years a real plan. They also owed it to our military service members and their families, particularly the men and women in uniform and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Not to mention the women and girls of Afghanistan who are now experiencing a devastating new reality.”[58]

Texas

TX–28 district

Henry Cuellar official portrait.jpg

Henry Cuellar, the incumbent moderately liberal Democrat U.S. representative from Texas' 28th congressional district, is facing re-election in an area that has sharply moved towards the GOP in 2020 as Latinos moved away from the Democratic Party.[59] Once a considerably more Democrat-favoring district, it is now considered a potential tossup. Cuellar, who is targeted from both sides of the political spectrum,[60][61] has stated of his less radical voting record:[62]

By centrist, basically, I vote my district. If people come up here and just vote [their] political party, then you can send anybody. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Democrat or a Republican.

In late September 2021, Cuellar was the only House Democrat to vote against an extreme pro-abortion bill.[63]

TX–28 Democrat primary

Cuellar is currently facing a challenge by far-left Democrat Jessica Cisneros, who unsuccessfully attempted to deny him renomination in 2020.[64] Cisneros is endorsed by the progressive and infamously anti-Semitic[65] Sunrise Movement.[66]

Virginia

VA–2nd district

Establishment Democrat Elaine Luria, a member of the Gang of Nine, is running for re-election. Luria has flip-flopped over raising the minimum wage to $15/hour,[67] once refusing to support it[68] and currently being a co-sponsor of a left-wing effort to mandate such nationwide.[69] Luria previously owned a small business where she paid workers at less than that rate.[70]

Washington

Under Washington state law, all candidates running for Congress compete in a single primary election irrespective of party, with the top two proceeding to the ballot for the general election.

West Virginia

WV–2 district

House portrait of Mooney.

Following the 2020 census, West Virginia lost a congressional district; the previous 1st and 2nd districts will become merged into a new 2nd congressional district.[71]

Both incumbent Republican congressmen David McKinley of the 1st district and Alex Mooney of the 2nd district are running,[72] setting up a potentially bruising primary battle. Mooney, who is strongly conservative, received the endorsement of Trump over McKinley, who is more moderate and establishment-leaning.[73]

McKinley voted for the massive "infrastructure" pork bill, and has been criticized by Trump while endorsed by former Democrat Andrew Yang.[74]
