The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced on Friday 29 members it is placing in its front-line program aimed at helping incumbent lawmakers in swing districts retain their seats as the party looks to flip back control of the lower chamber in 2024.
The list includes familiar names from swing districts during the 2022 cycle, in which Democrats exceeded pollsters’ and political forecasters’ projections by fending off a red wave. Democrats will once again have to protect their seats and pick up five more to retake the House next year.

“House Democrats are well positioned to take back the House in 2024, thanks in large part to our tremendous slate of Democrat incumbents who tirelessly advocate for their communities and continue to put People over Politics,” she said in a statement. “Democrats will have great offensive opportunities in 2024, and holding onto these seats is key to our path to reclaiming the majority.”
