State Democrats Have Flipped 30 Seats Since Trump's Election

PRESS RELEASE


WASHINGTON — State legislative Democrats have been unstoppable in elections since Trump’s election – flipping 30 seats to Republicans’ zero. That includes general elections last year, where Democrats overperformed by 4.5 points on average, and special elections, where Democrats have consistently flipped districts Trump won by double digits. From Florida to Arkansas to Texas to Virginia, Democrats are making inroads everywhere and building momentum for a historic November.

Here’s what state legislative flips mean for the midterms: The DLCC is on offense and already working to deliver resources and infrastructure across the country after launching our most expansive target map to date across 42 chambers in 27 states. Our data shows more than 650 seats in play this year, and we are targeting the most important races where majorities and supermajorities are on the line. Our 2026 wins down-ballot could transform the landscape for redistricting and the path to power for the presidency and Congress.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:

“The data tells a pretty damning story for state Republicans heading into the midterms as they lose support in districts that went for Trump by double-digits. State Democrats’ 30 flips this cycle haven’t been by chance – it’s a product of the DLCC’s work to build strong campaigns across every corner of the country. Our candidates are embedded in their communities and focused on addressing soaring costs, and it’s resonating with voters across red, battleground, and blue territory. The DLCC is full steam ahead as we recruit and support candidates everywhere and carry our winning strategy to target more than 600 seats this year.”

It’s been exciting to see younger Dems like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, James Talarico, etc. stepping up.

And thanks to Captain tRump’s “guidance,” the GOP has sailed straight into the iceberg.

They’ve been blessed with his touch…. and they’re finding out firsthand what we’ve known for years!
