CNN: Dems Should Be Worried If These States Redraw Their Maps

If that’s how many seats Democrats stand to lose in the upcoming 2026 midterms based on redistricting and a potential gutting of the Voting Rights Act, sign me up on the partisan redraws. I was never against this, and I don’t care about optics. Of course, it’s political. We do it, and the Democrats do it. I couldn’t care less if people think the GOP is doing it for partisan reasons—of course we are! 

And you can see why Democrats are quaking in their boots over this, because, unlike what California is trying to do, it needs to be passed by referendum. Second, even if California passes its new little maps, there are more states where the GOP can create pickup opportunities. Plain and simple, in a redistricting war, we win. 

While it was not their intention, CNN made the case yesterday, noting that Democrats could lose at least 19 seats next year. It’s why President Trump is encouraging Republican governors to redraw the maps.  

If the Democrats retake the lower chamber, you know they’ll do anything to hobble this administration, including completing their impeachment push. They’d make it a trilogy. It’ll be hearing after hearing of nonsense, fraught with screeching lunatics. That cannot happen under any circumstances. Redraw the maps, own the Dems, keep the agenda pushing forward by any means.  

Get it done.
