The U.S. House of Representatives is gearing up for a pivotal 2024 election, with Republicans defending a narrow majority. Critical races are heating up in states like Arizona and Washington, where several incumbents face stiff competition. In Arizona's 1st District, David Schweikert, a Republican representative since 2010, is a prime target for Democrats, who are still finalizing their candidate for the challenge.
In Wisconsin, Republicans are aiming to replace Mike Gallagher, who retired in April. A mix of lawmakers and professionals are vying to fill the seat, which is considered safe for the GOP. Meanwhile, New York's political landscape saw a significant shakeup as Representative Jamaal Bowman, a member of the left-wing 'Squad,' lost his seat to centrist George Latimer.
Other notable races include the Republican primary win of conservative Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 4th District and the Virginia seat lost by Bob Good. Each of these contests represents a microcosm of broader national issues, setting the stage for a fiercely contested election cycle.
