DCCC Chair DelBene Says Democrats Have Momentum Ahead of Midterm Elections
With 100 days until the midterm election, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Suzan DelBene told CNBC that Democrats are positioned to regain control of the House. The party has focused on cost-of-living concerns amid rising prices and low approval ratings for President Donald Trump. DelBene emphasized that voters want leaders who address affordability issues like housing, food, healthcare, childcare, energy costs, and gas prices—areas where she claims Republicans are not serious about solutions. Recent polls show Democrats slightly ahead in generic ballot tests, suggesting a potential House majority is within reach despite challenges such as low favorability ratings and internal party tensions. However, the DCCC has faced criticism for its involvement in contested primary elections, with some of their backed candidates losing to more progressive challengers.
