The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee expanded its list of contested seats on Friday to include Republican districts in several states. The DCCC added eight solidly Republican seats to its offensive "Districts in Play" list, including those represented by Schmidt (KS02), Bergman (MI01), Knott (NC13), Van Drew (NJ02), Bice (OK05), Cline (VA06), and Baumgartner (WA05), as well as an open seat in Texas (TX09).

Decision Desk HQ classifies these additions as "reach seats" for Democrats, where the party faces low odds of victory. According to DDHQ’s forecast, Republicans maintain a win probability between 76% in New Jersey's 2nd district and 98% in Virginia's 6th, leaving the Democratic win probability between 24% and 2%.
