GOP group details recipe for Republicans to retake House majority

The top outside group that backs House Republicans says that recruiting more females and minorities and candidates who are veterans, along with more potent fundraising, are two keys for the GOP to win back the majority in the House of Representatives in next year’s midterm elections.

The GOP controlled the House majority for eight years before losing control of the chamber in the 2018 midterms. But Republicans defied expectations and took a big bite out of the Democrats’ majority in last November’s elections and only need to flip five seats in 2022 to regain the control of the House. In modern times, the party that controls the White House traditionally loses roughly 25 House seats in midterm elections. "In 2020, all 15 of the seats Republicans flipped were won by a woman, a minority, or a veteran. They were candidates of character, heroism, and achievement," Conston spotlighted in the memo, which was first reported by Axios and also obtained by Fox News. "Continuing to recruit similar candidates is a foundational building block to the Majority in 2022."
