The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, an arm of the party that supports candidates in state legislative races, is performing the biannual ritual of warning activists and voters that a single-minded focus on federal races risks losses for the party down-ballot.
In a memo released Thursday, the DLCC said that even success at the top of the ticket might not stave off the loss of hard-won majorities in Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, nor guarantee victory in Wisconsin, Arizona and New Hampshire, where Democrats are hoping to win majorities for the first time in years.
