Democratic whip plans cross-country midterm sprint

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark is preparing for a travel tour across 24 congressional districts in August and 48 events in total since the beginning of the year. This final stretch before the midterms will see her visiting key states such as California, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania. Her focus will be on issues that resonate with families, including affordability, healthcare, and childcare.

Republicans are also gearing up for their final pitches. House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to embark on a 40-district tour, according to Axios. While Democrats are confident about flipping the House, Republicans believe their financial edge will help them counteract political challenges.
