With 2024 fast approaching, buzz has already begun to surround the Republican House primaries.
While most attention is fixated on the Republican presidential primary for 2024, many forget that all 435 House seats are up for election as well. With Republicans only holding a narrow majority currently, just a few races could decide which party controls the House. Much depends on the quality of Republican candidates, which will be decided earlier in 2024.Here are five different races bound to be close, according to the Cook Political Report.Rep.
He now faces the might of the state Republican Party, with Medina County GOP Chair Julie Clark already joining the race as a primary challenger. In 2020, prior to his censure, he beat Sen. Ted Cruz-backed Air Force veteran Raul Reyes by just seven votes. Now stripped of his state's party support, which is likely to back his opponent, Gonzales faces a tough race.
Another Trump-backed challenger is all but assured to confront Hill again in 2024, although his allies hope that his conservative credentials will help him prevail.Despite South Dakota voting strongly for Trump in the past two presidential elections, its only representative, Johnson, has positioned himself as the former president's opposite; a centrist, policy-oriented representative whose personality contrasts heavily with that of Trump.
With his 2022 showing already underwhelming, Johnson could be in trouble in 2024 if pro-Trump elements of the party decide to put effort into unseating him.Newhouse is one of two remaining Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, with the other eight being defeated in 2022. He was only able to keep his seat after the pro-Trump opposition vote was split in three; he won just 26% of the vote in the primary. If the pro-Trump base can unify around a single candidate, Newhouse will be in deep trouble.
So far, he has relied on a fracturing coalition of centrist Republicans, Democrats, and independents to get by; the latter two of which will be unable to help him in an exceedingly difficult primary.Webster, 73, once an insurgent Freedom Caucus-backed candidate, now faces a daunting challenge from the right in the form of Laura Loomer, an energetic, pro-Trump firebrand endorsed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene .
