Butterfield (NC), Rep.&nbsp;Annie Kuster (NH), Rep.&nbsp;Teresa Leger-Fern\u00e1ndez (NM), Rep.&nbsp;Madeleine Dean (PA), Rep.

Since then, multiple Democrats have either decided to run for higher office or have announced retirement, ultimately leaving the House and ruining House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s (D-CA) chances of keeping a Democrat majority in the House.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans are on offense all across the country,\u201d&nbsp;Emmer said when the list was previously expanded to 57 Democrats. \u201cEvery House Democrat is facing an uphill battle having to defend their toxic socialist agenda that prioritizes trillion-dollar tax hikes on the middle class, opens our borders, closes our schools and defunds the police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Breitbart News has extensively reported on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/18\/droves-of-democrats-exiting-the-house-create-massive-problems-ahead-of-midterms\/\">Pelosi\u2019s majority crumbling<\/a>&nbsp;in the past.&nbsp;Breitbart News has kept track of the Democrats\u2019 struggle to find new candidates willing to run for office and face published scrutiny. As the midterms loom in the distance, if the Democrats continue to be unsuccessful in finding recruits and many members looking to retire or run for other elected offices, Pelosi\u2019s chances of keeping the slim majority are dwindling.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, President Joe Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/20\/poll-bidens-approval-rating-slides-to-37-percent\/\">free falling<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/16\/poll-joe-bidens-job-approval-hits-new-low-at-36-percent\/\">approval<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/26\/poll-voters-have-biden-remorse-republicans-lead-in-85-battleground-congressional-districts\/\">numbers<\/a> put many elected Democrats who typically invoke the president during the campaign in trouble. Over the recent months, Biden\u2019s approval numbers have tanked after he&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/08\/31\/joe-biden-stranding-americans-afghanistan\/\">botched<\/a> the withdrawal from Afghanistan,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/05\/republican-senators-introduce-bill-establishing-bipartisan-select-committee-to-investigate-afghanistan-withdrawal\/\">resulting<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/09\/14\/hawley-pledges-to-slow-walk-biden-pentagon-state-nominees-over-botched-afghanistan-withdrawal\/\">backlash<\/a> from Republicans in Congress after the&nbsp;death of 13 US servicemembers and hundreds of US citizens, Afghan allies, and vulnerable Afghans left in the county controlled by Taliban terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s administration is also in the middle of a months-long cargo ship crisis, contributing to empty store shelves. Data from the Labor Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/10\/15\/log-cabin-republicans-blast-pete-buttigieg-transportation-secretary-went-mia-during-supply-chain-crisis\/\">revealed<\/a> that the soaring price of moving goods around the country has added to inflation, setting consumer prices skyrocketing.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats trying to fight to stay in the majority are also facing tough redistricting battles. Politico&nbsp;recently&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/09\/15\/democrats-house-gop-maps-511868\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">outlined<\/a>&nbsp;the House Democrats spending their last two elections (2018 and 2020) talking about their achievements of unseating members in red districts \u2014 which have since gotten more competitive over the years. However, they did not realize the majority of the districts where millions of dollars and hundreds of hours were spent fighting could disappear after redistricting.<\/p>\n<p><i>Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News.
