2022 Elections: Democrats ‘Waving the White Flag’ in Key State Races, GOP Group Claims

Memos released by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee suggest the group has in recent months become less confident that the party can flip state legislatures in Arizona and Pennsylvania in 2022.

The DLCC released a memo to the New York Times on Thursday detailing plans to flip several state legislatures this fall. Previously, the DLCC was eyeing the Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan legislatures for potential Democratic takeovers, Politico reported in March 2021. A DLCC memo on “legislative battlegrounds” given to Politico at that time stated that legislatures in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan had “extremely vulnerable” Republican majorities.
