U.S. House Primaries

U.S. House Democratic Party primaries, 2020

U.S. House Republican Party primaries, 2020

Last updated: January 26, 2021
Elections for all 435 U.S. House seats took place in 2020. Democrats lost seats but maintained their majority, winning 222 seats to Republicans' 213.

Ballotpedia identified 41 of the 435 House races (9.4%) as battlegrounds. Of the 41 seats, 20 had Democratic incumbents, 20 had Republican incumbents, and one had a Libertarian incumbent.

These battleground districts were selected by examining the 2018 winner's margin of victory, the results of the 2016 presidential election in the district, whether the incumbent was seeking re-election, and whether the incumbent was serving his or her first term in Congress. Race ratings from the Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales were also considered. For more information on our methodology, click here.

Races may also be identified as battleground races for other compelling or meaningful reasons, such as significant levels of satellite spending or influencer endorsements, coinciding with a change in district lines, or their potential impact on intraparty divisions.

At the time of the election, Democrats had a 232-197 advantage over Republicans. There was one Libertarian member, and there were five vacancies. The following are some factors that could influence the outcome of the 2020 House elections:

• The party of an incumbent president tends to perform similarly to that president on the ballot. Since 1920, 15 elections have taken place where an incumbent president sought re-election. Eleven of those elections resulted in the incumbent president winning, with all but Dwight Eisenhower's (R) re-election in 1956 also resulting in the president's party gaining seats in the House. In three of the four elections where the incumbent was defeated, all but George H.W. Bush’s (R) 1992 loss also resulted in the president's party losing seats in the House.

• Regardless of whether the president seeks re-election, a president's party that loses seats during the president's first midterm tends to gain seats in the following election. Between 1918 and 2016, 14 out of 16 presidents saw their party lose seats in the House during their first midterm. In nine of those cases (64%), the president's party went on to gain seats in the following election. Excluding the two presidents who gained seats in their first midterm, the president's party lost an average of 35 seats in the first midterm and gained an average of five seats in the following election.

• As of September 2025, there were more open seats in districts held by Republicans than by Democrats. So far, 26 Republicans, nine Democrats, and one Libertarian did not seek re-election in 2020. Historically, open seats are more likely to flip than those where an incumbent is running for re-election.

In 2018, Ballotpedia identified 82 U.S. House battleground races: 73 Republican seats and nine Democratic seats. Democrats won 43 of the Republican-held seats, and Republicans won three of the Democratic-held seats. Fifty-seven (79 percent) of the battleground races in 2020 were also considered battleground races in 2018. To read more about the 2018 battleground races, click here.
