MeganHOST
In North Carolina's first district, which was redrawn by Mr. Heise and his colleagues, we forecast that the Democratic incumbent, Don Davis, has a 6 in 10 chance of winning, even though his new district favored Mr. Trump by almost 12 percentage points.
MeganHOST
In Florida's ninth district, Darren Soto, a Democrat, has a one in two chance of holding his seat, though the boundaries were redrawn to encompass an area that favored Mr. Trump by 18 points.
MeganHOST
As Democrats make inroads in districts that voted decisively for Mr. Trump, the House as a whole is becoming more competitive.
MeganHOST
The number of districts where both candidates have a better than 10% chance of winning has risen from 51 in early March to 61 in our latest forecast.
Natalie RodriguezCORRESPONDENT
The delivery is part of a nationwide wave that we've seen on both sides of the aisle today.
Natalie RodriguezCORRESPONDENT
We had Central Florida authorities rushing to evacuate the Orlando office of Representative Max Frost, while a separate intercepted package triggered a response at Representative Darren Soto's office in Kissimmee.
Natalie RodriguezCORRESPONDENT
So we've had more than a dozen members of Congress reporting similar or identical mailings this week alone.
Natalie RodriguezCORRESPONDENT
Security services are advising public officials and election workers to handle all unexpected mail with extreme caution as they work to identify the sender or senders as it could be the case.

Tom DrakeHOST
They're not doing any work.
Tom DrakeHOST
The Democrat, this is the second time they're knocking on my door about Darren Soto, who is our congressman for this area.
Tom DrakeHOST
And I don't know where I'm going with Election Day.
Tom DrakeHOST
And I can't remember why I even started this, other than the fact that it was good to have people getting out there and getting it done and she left smiling I told her I probably wouldn't vote for a candidate but I thanked her for getting out and getting involved in the process and you know before this podcast is over I'll remember why I brought that up but I mentioned it I might have mentioned it and could be repetitive but it's a muddled it is absolutely a muddled Monday without a doubt don't do that voice you're enough trouble as it is
Chuck ToddHOST
Um, they've, they've added one of the seats that were part of the dummy mander, right? Florida's 22nd District.
Chuck ToddHOST
They're now spending more money in Florida 9, the Darren Soto district.
Chuck ToddHOST
Um, it, it's again, just like with the Senate, one party's expanding the map, the other party's trying to shrink it.
Chuck ToddHOST
It's a pretty good indication.
Chuck ToddHOST
There's a great chart that I've been using, um, comparing the 2024 presidential vote in a series of Republican-held or Republican-leaning House districts with the current 2026 forecast from our friends at DDHQ.
Chuck ToddHOST
And what the chart gives me is a way to measure how large the potential Democratic wave could get.
Chuck ToddHOST
So I just mentioned the Darren Soto district, Florida 9.
Chuck ToddHOST
Trump carried it by 18 points in 2024.
Chuck ToddHOST
Um, they've, they've added one of the seats that were part of the dummy mander, right? Florida's twenty-second District.
Chuck ToddHOST
They're now spending more money in Florida nine, the Darren Soto District.
Chuck ToddHOST
Um, it, it's again, just like with the Senate, one party's expanding the map, the other party's trying to shrink it.
Chuck ToddHOST
It's a pretty good indication.
Chuck ToddHOST
There's a great chart that I've been using, um, comparing the twenty twenty-four presidential vote in a series of Republican-held or Republican-leaning House districts with the current twenty twenty-six forecast from our friends at DDHQ.
Chuck ToddHOST
And what the chart gives me is a way to measure how large the potential Democratic wave could get.
Chuck ToddHOST
So I just mentioned the Darren Soto District, Florida nine.
Chuck ToddHOST
Trump carried it by eighteen points in twenty twenty-four.
Christopher HartHOST
As Dan Green said last night, it is now plus nine R.
Christopher HartHOST
So there's no reason why we shouldn't retake that seat down there, take it away from Darren Soto, except that Darren Soto is the incumbent and he's been getting some money from somewhere because he's been running a lot of TV ads.
Christopher HartHOST
And they're pretty effective ones, too.
Christopher HartHOST
So it's going to take some nerve to get out there and make sure you vote for Dan Green and encourage others to do so.
Christopher HartHOST
Because as he put it yesterday, what has Darren Soto done for that district? Can you name anything really of importance?
Michael McBathHOST
And, you know, you really do need communication between people because most people aren't really sure who's running, what they stand for, what the issues are.
Michael McBathHOST
And, you know, somebody has to convey it to them.
Ty RussellHOST
And coming up today on Battleground Florida, it's a good one.
Ty RussellHOST
We have Democratic Congressman Darren Soto with Congressional District 9, who is fighting to keep his seat.
Ty RussellHOST
He is on the show today, along with the Palm Beach Republican Party.
Ty RussellHOST
We will be hearing from them.
Ty RussellHOST
Yeah, it's huge, but it touches a part of the Tampa Bay viewing area.
Ty RussellHOST
And you can see a part of Highlands County and part of Polk County there.
Ty RussellHOST
And so it's currently represented by Congressman Darren Soto.
Ty RussellHOST
And he has a challenger, Republican challenger, Dan Green.
Christopher HartHOST
We're going to have Dan Green, and he is the Republican nominee for District 9.
Christopher HartHOST
He's the one taking on Darren Soto down there in Osceola County.
Christopher HartHOST
So we'll talk to him and see how things are going so far.
Christopher HartHOST
You know, we already do have some votes in, so there is something to look at because mail-in ballots have gone out and are beginning to come back in, have been coming in.
35 MINS LATER
Christopher HartHOST
And don't forget, in the next hour, we got DCD Class 5 with Congressman Corey Mills and Randy Ross.
Christopher HartHOST
And then we're going to introduce you to and get to know ourselves, Dan Green, the nominee for the Republican nominee for U.S. House District 9.
Christopher HartHOST
Going up against Darren Soto.
Christopher HartHOST
It's a tough fight.
Eli McCown DawsonGUEST
Um, and I mean, in general, at least this cycle, Republicans sort of redistricting more net gains are gonna be very little, if anything, I think.
Eli McCown DawsonGUEST
I mean, you know, in Florida, I mean, even, you know, I think they might pick up, you know, maybe just one seat or maybe no seats if they, on, on a sort of a bit of a long shot if Democrats can win the ninth district in Florida, I think, which we have a, you know, 40% chance of, of Darren Soto winning that district.
Eli McCown DawsonGUEST
They would pick up no new seats from there from the new Florida map.
Eli McCown DawsonGUEST
I think that is sort of s- at least somewhat possible.
