Gain 3 seats. Flip the House.
our strategy
We've done the math.
The House is winnable.
Join the fight.
Working to win back the House in 2026 isn't just important—it’s a fundamental piece of the "stop Trump" strategy. It puts a necessary check on the MAGA agenda, and it's Step One in removing Republicans from federal office, full stop.
With the narrowest House majority in almost 100 years, winning the House is doable. Democrats need only three additional seats to flip the chamber.
To get there, we're focusing our efforts on competitive swing districts where the last election came down to a few thousand (or a few hundred!) votes. These races will be close, meaning volunteer time and resources can have the greatest impact.
While reclaiming the Senate is near-impossible for Democrats in 2026, winning the House is achievable—and essential. But only if we start early. By taking action now, we're laying the foundation for next year's victory.
Most flippable seats
Here's where we go on offense. Each of these Republican-held swing districts was won by a margin of 4% or less, or is a district that Kamala Harris won in 2024—making these races highly competitive in 2026. By focusing volunteer time and money here, we can maximize our impact to flip three seats.

Must-hold seats
To win back the House, we must also defend vulnerable Democratic seats. These first-term members of Congress fall into two categories: they won by less than 3% or represent districts that voted for Trump. Early organizing and fundraising will help these candidates build the strong campaigns they need to win reelection in 2026.

LET’S GET TO WORK
We can only win if we work together—and if we start now. In 2024, Democratic candidates in House districts where we organized early performed better overall, even in the face of national headwinds. Here’s how to get started today.
Host a Swing Left gathering
The fight ahead is a marathon and digital fatigue is real. Winning starts with face-to-face connections that help us build power. Bring together three friends or 30 neighbors, and we’ll provide a guide, script, and everything you need to get started.
Attend a Swing Left gathering
Not ready to host your own? Join a gathering in your community to connect, commiserate, and learn about Swing Left's strategy and volunteering tactics. You’ll make an action plan to help win the House in 2026. All you have to do is show up!
