Big shakeup in DCCC's House battlefield this AM. The committee named 12 challengers to its "Red to Blue" program, added 3 members to its "Frontline" program, added 8 new GOP/Dem districts to its "In Play" list, and removed 6 GOP-held districts from its target list.
Red to Blue challengers:

NC Republicans are going for the jugular: the state senate-approved congressional map move NC from 8R-5D to 10R-3R-1C, dooming #NC06 Rep. Kathy Manning (D) and diluting the Black share in Rep. G.K. Butterfield's (D) #NC01 from 44% to 41% - which could end his career too. 
NC's NAACP et. al. have already sued in state court to block it on basis of failing to consider race. Dems also likely to pursue a partisan gerrymandering claim in state court (but NC courts have crept right since 2019).
If this map stands, Dems are likely doomed here in 2022.
If this map stands, Dems are likely doomed here in 2022.
Update: in the last few minutes, NC's GOP legislature officially adopted this map, and Gov. Roy Cooper (D) has no veto power over maps. This plan is now law - and the stampede to the courthouse begins.
A RECAP of 2020 House races (now that #NY22 is finally resolved)
Dems have 222 House seats. Rs have 213 seats. They are 5 seats away from the majority
Rs flipped 14 Democratic seats & captured the Amash seat. Dems flipped 3 seats. The GOP net gain: 12 seats

Breaking: NC court rules new GOP-drawn cong. map will stand. New map replaces current 10R-3D plan w/ an 8R-5D breakdown. But, ruling will disappoint Dems, who sued for additional opportunities.
*Dems could still appeal to NC Supreme Court but candidate filing opens today.
*Dems could still appeal to NC Supreme Court but candidate filing opens today.
Whiplash: this latest plan is likely to be NC's 3rd different R-drawn congressional map in 4 election cycles - and there will be *another* drawn in time for 2022, when NC is likely to pick up a 14th congressional district.
Big: the new map the #NCGA just passed is an insurance policy for Dems' House majority. It effectively gifts Dems two additional seats in 2020 (#NC02 & #NC06).
And, a pending Dem lawsuit against it could put one *more* seat in play, giving Dems/Pelosi even more insurance.

So why are Dems suing to invalidate a new map that converts a 10R-3D map to an 8R-5D map? Because they have nothing to lose: a map drawn by a special court-appointed master would only get even better for them vs. the remedial map just drawn by the GOP-led #NCGA.
1/ A court blocked North Carolina's 10-3 GOP-majority congressional germander, & GOP legislators are redrawing the map & could pass one next week. The GOP suspiciously hasn't shared any of their draft maps online, but Dems have, so I'll post those maps in this thread #NCGA #NCpol
The GOP's silence about ripping children from their parents is deafening.
