House Minority Whip Katherine Clark plans a multistate campaign tour in the midterms’ final stretch, with stops in 24 congressional districts since August and 48 events. Speaker Mike Johnson is also planning a district tour as both parties make their final pitches to voters.
A spokesperson said Clark plans to visit districts in California, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Nebraska and Pennsylvania next month. The tour will include all female frontline Democratic lawmakers and “red to blue” candidates seeking to flip seats, and Clark plans to focus on affordability, healthcare and childcare.
The article reports that Speaker Mike Johnson plans a 40-district tour, citing Axios. It says Democrats are confident they can flip the House, while Republicans believe their cash advantage can help them overcome political headwinds.
