US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyDemocrats won several House seats this year that few had expected them to win. Even Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, who ran the GOP's House campaign arm, lost his own seat to former Army major Richard Ojeda.
In Nevada, Democrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson won the 2nd District, a first for a Democrat there, and the state's House delegation is now entirely Democratic for the first time.
In Iowa, Democrat Lindsay James beat Republican Joe Mitchell for an open seat, and in New Jersey, Democrat Zack Mullock ousted Rep. Jeff Van Drew.
