NRCC Memo: House GOP's "Trump card" to grow majority

Donald Trump's surge in popularity gives House Republicans the ability to grow the majority. Read why in the NRCC's new memo.
Key points:

• An October NRCC polling average shows that among the 16 Biden districts that House Republicans currently hold, Kamala only leads by less than a point on the ballot.
  • This includes districts in blue states where Trump is currently either statistically tied or holds a lead where Biden won by double digits in 2020.
  • In contrast, in 2020 Joe Biden won these 16 districts by more than 6.3% on average.
• Any Democrat-held seat won by Joe Biden by five points or less in 2020 is in danger of flipping to the GOP due to Trump's surge - and in some areas of the country, that number is even higher.
  • Internal NRCC polling from October in 16 swing-seats currently held by Democrats shows that while Joe Biden won these districts on average by 4.3%, President Trump is effectively tied on the ballot today - down by only 0.1%.
