As the fall comes into focus, House Republicans find themselves in an awkward jam: President Trump continues to trail Joe Biden in dozens of suburban swing districts, including many held by the GOP. But Biden's lead isn't so large that Republican candidates can argue the race is over and that voters should support them as a "check" on Biden and Democrats lurching too far left. This week, we're shifting our ratings in 15 more districts, including 11 moves towards Democrats and four towards Republicans. We're also revising our House outlook to a Democratic net gain between zero and ten seats. View our full ratings here.
