Reuters: “Earlier this year, Brat’s seat was considered safe. But if a so-called ‘blue wave’ materializes, it would roll through a district like his, which includes pockets of suburban voters who increasingly have been turning away from Republicans.”
“Democrats have poured resources not only into Brat’s district, but others that have come onto their battleground list, in places such as Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Southern California and other parts of Virginia such as the district currently represented by Republican Scott Taylor.”
Said GOP strategist Doug Here: “Republicans are playing defense in more and more places. The Democrats’ map continues to get bigger. The Republicans’ map continues to get smaller. That’s a real problem.”
