2020 House Overview

By Leave a Comment

For members: The new edition of Inside Elections.

This issue includes the first House ratings of the cycle. It also has capsules on more than 110 of the most competitive and interesting races. While it’s too early to know what the political environment will be like in 2020, the House majority should be in play, considering Republicans can get back to the majority by winning districts President Trump carried in 2016.
