Most everywhere with a humid subtropical and continental climate, so basically most of the eastern US.
Basically all of the US except the west coast has challenging summers. Varying degrees, yes, but to say eastern US, you are leavign out Missouri, Zona, etc.
I am an Atlanta native, so perhaps I am a little biased/ used to it, but I honestly don't find our summers usually all that oppressive. I have certainly found it much more unpleasantly hot and humid in the Carolinas, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, District of Columbia, Tidewater areas of Virginia and Maryland, St. Louis, Kansas City, Arkansas, Western Tennessee, and yes even South Georgia. Metro Atlanta summers are mild in comparison to all those places (few people realize that we can go years without reaching the century mark) Come sit beside me on my tree shaded porch with a glass of sweet tea this summer; you will LOVE it!

Just looking at data, Atlanta looks slightly warmer than DC. I know the winters are warmer.

The thing is, with the humidity it feels hotter than it is and the shade doesn't offer the same relief. In drier places the shade can drop the temperature significantly, not so much if you are swimming in the air.
Houston certainly has worse summer weather and probably Dallas as well, but that isn't saying much at all both have brutal summers.
Atlanta is slightly warmer than DC in the summer which is also legendary for being uncomfortable, hot and humid.
