I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…

I'll just mention that Jasmine Crockett will also certainly be reelected after Texas gerrymandered her district. Likely with a +50 Democrat majority This could be even more depending on whether Trump lives until 2026 and how much the GOP continues to abuse America.

An under reported fact about Trump redistricting is they’re making safely red districts a little more competitive. There’s a chance the GOP loses previously held seats to a public bristling with anger toward GOP candidates.

Everyone is talking about GOP redistricting like all is lost and they are now guaranteed to win. Trump is polling worse than he ever has and a Dem just won a special election in Iowa by 11% in a district Trump won by 11%. a 22% swing towards dems in just 10 months. redistricting won’t save them.

I do not think the GOP can gerrymander enough to keep the House. People are angry. They may not blame Trump (yet) but they can blame GOP reps. We know that Trump cannot tolerate losing the House. So what will he do? I expect he'll look for a way to cheat. If he can't he will try to cancel elections.

Gerrymandering does not always work as intended, but that doesn't mean we should not be worrying about it. The main reason Republicans were able to narrowly win the House in 2022 and 2024 is because of their gerrymandering efforts from the 2020 redistricting cycle.
