As Democrats eye big midterm wins, Republicans look to turn the tables in some House districts

As the 2022 midterm elections approach, President Donald Trump's Republican Party is hoping to turn the tables on Democrats in several House districts. National organizations are pouring money into candidates who could provide bright spots for the GOP.

In New Hampshire's first congressional district, incumbent Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas is running for Senate against former Republican congressman John E. Sununu. The seat has been held by Democrats since 2019, but Trump-backed candidate Anthony DiLorenzo, a car dealership owner, has taken a moderate stance on immigration.

In New York's fourth district, Republican Jeanine Driscoll, a tax receiver in Hempstead, faces Democratic Rep. Laura Gillen. Driscoll has championed Trump's immigration policies while promising to shield suburban Long Island from government overreach.

In Nevada's third district, Republican Marty O'Donnell, a composer behind video game music, is challenging Democratic Rep. Susie Lee. O'Donnell's musical background has been a topic of interest, as he tries to unseat the incumbent who has backed President Biden.
