Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s sweeping changes to the federal government are driving the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee’s campaign strategy for the next two years.
A new DLCC memo shared with NOTUS lays out Democrats’ state-level targets through the 2026 midterms. The list includes 18 legislative chambers across 11 states; 10 of these chambers are in the “battleground” states of Virginia, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Alaska. And in five of these chambers, the balance of power could be decided by a single seat in either the House or Senate (the Virginia House, the Minnesota House and Senate, the Michigan Senate and the Pennsylvania House).
The plan also emphasizes redistricting in 2030.
