Writing from Omaha, it very much feels like we've got blue momentum. Those Trump signs are disappearing. I also think that this redistricting push could burn a lot of GOP reps. You don't shift one district w/o weakening another, and a shift in voting could erase a slim margin.

DSM is the fastest growing metro in the Midwest percentage wise. like, if they lose dallas county and/or ankeny, they'll lose state wide. the question of whether the Mississippi River communities ever come back is interesting. I dont think its impossible though
