Which of the Trump cabinet picks give the Democrats the best chance to pick up a House seat in a special election?  So far I know of Zinke (MT) and Price (GA).  If there are others, add them to the mix for this topic.

Zinke is probably the best opportunity, and it isn't incredibly likely.

Zinke's seat (MT-AL) is the one Republicans have the best chance of losing. Price (GA-6) is not from Oklahoma.

Montana's at-large seat has always puzzled me. Democrats have done quite well in other statewide offices (they held all except AG until this past election cycle, where they now only hold governor, and up until recently they held both senate seats). But the House seat has ALWAYS eluded them, and I have no idea why. Still, I think Democrats need to seriously challenge the seat. After this last election cycle, they need to take advantage of every opportunity that comes their way, and an open seat is the best opportunity they can be given.

Part of me thinks GA-06 might actually be winnable. Clinton actually WON the seat, despite Obama losing it badly in 2012. But all the best Democrats have so far passed on it, which doesn't look good for them.

I sincerely hope, as a Democrat, that they get somewhat-strong recruits for both seats. Strange things can happen in special elections.

Clinton lost GA-6 (my district) by two points, and it is definitely winnable for Dems. It's getting less and less white by the year and special elections are often surprises.

GA-6 is probably more winnable for Democrats than MT-AL. I really don't see Juneau or Curtis beating the Republican nominee.
