(MENAFN) Emboldened by Donald Trump's struggles in the presidential race, Democrats in Congress are laying the groundwork to expand the list of House Republicans they will target for defeat as part of an effort to slash the Republicans' 30-seat majority and even reclaim control if Trump falls further.
Trump's unpopularity, which has already undermined the party's grip on the Senate, now threatens to imperil Republican lawmakers even in traditionally conservative districts.
Democrats are particularly enticed by Trump's dwindling support in affluent suburban areas where Republicans ordinarily win with ease.
Trump is so disliked among college-educated voters, especially white women, that he is at risk of losing by double digits in several districts that the 2012 Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, carried comfortably.
