The size of Democrats’ wave surprised even their top House super PAC

House Majority PAC President Mike Smith said Democrats’ House gains landed at the very top of the super PAC’s internal expectations, signaling a wave larger than its own models anticipated. The group, the main outside spender for House Democrats, had built its plans around a narrower range of outcomes. The stronger-than-expected result matters because it expands the battlefield for the party and could reshape spending priorities in the remaining races. Watch whether the super PAC shifts additional resources into districts it had previously treated as out of reach.
