DCCC Backs 5 More House Candidates as GOP Targets Socialist Primary Wins

Summary
Five new contenders were added to the DCCC’s Red to Blue program with fewer than 100 days until the November midterms, signaling Democrats are expanding their House target map.
The new recruits are running in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota and Montana, covering one Republican-held seat and four competitive races shaped by retirements, a Senate run and redistricting.
The move comes as Republicans try to tie Democrats to recent Democratic Socialists of America-backed primary victories that unseated at least three incumbent House Democrats in Colorado and New York.
Democratic leaders are brushing off claims of an intraparty civil war and instead arguing voter anger over higher prices and a widening war is creating an opening to flip seats in Trump’s final term.
