Recent polling and the Democratic primary outcome position the seat as competitive in the November 2026 general election. Incumbent Republican Derrick Van Orden, who won reelection by roughly three points in 2024, faces rematch challenger Rebecca Cooke, who defeated Emily Berge in the August 11 Democratic primary. A June poll showed Cooke ahead 50-46, while Cook Political Report rates the race as leaning Republican or toss-up. The southwestern Wisconsin district, covering areas like Eau Claire and La Crosse, has seen national Democratic support and stronger fundraising for Cooke. Trader consensus reflects these indicators alongside the district's swing character and historical narrow margins, though the general election remains months away and subject to further shifts from turnout and campaign dynamics.
