DCCC targets Peter King's seat as in-play for 2018 election

[TexasTowelie]

The seat held by 13-term Republican Rep. Peter King was added Thursday to the Democratic list of districts the party views as vulnerable enough to flip in the 2018 midterm election.

New York’s 2nd Congressional District is considered safely GOP in major race rating systems such as the Cook Political Report, but its designation by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as in-play comes on the heels of Democratic victories Tuesday in the Nassau County executive and Hempstead Town supervisor races.

King, of Seaford, is one of 11 additions to the DCCC’s list of targets as the party works to regain a majority in the House.

The DCCC is eying 91 total GOP-held seats for 2018.
