Once Safe GOP Seats Threatened by Blue Wave

“Republicans who represented some of the safest congressional seats in their party for years are suddenly under intense pressure in 2018, with Democratic challengers threatening to overwhelm them in suburban districts where President Trump has struggled,” Politico reports.

“One of those districts belongs to Rep. Steve Chabot, an 11-term Republican who has gone years without a serious challenge in the southwestern corner of Ohio. He has been outraised — and, some Republicans say, outworked — by Democrat Aftab Pureval, the 35-year-old clerk of courts in Cincinnati’s Hamilton County, who argues that the congressman has lost touch with a diversifying, suburbanizing district changing beneath his feet.”

Other GOP seats mentioned: Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Leonard Lance (R-NJ) and John Culberson (R-TX).
