I only count two seats which are not either (D) or (R). I’d say the DNC and RNC still matter quite a bit for these elections.

The DCCC handles House elections and is nothing to do with the DNC. DSCC is the same for the Senate.
- saalweachter 9y agoI would note that the DCCC and DSCC primarily support (or don't) Democratic candidates after the primary. Unlike the DNC, they do not usually play a role in candidate selection. They also don't really try to influence policy; they usually support candidates where they believe that their extra help will make a difference, and provide less support in extremely safe or totally dead races, and not based on how "good" of a Democrat the candidate is.
