Two countervailing trends explain this rebound: 1) Many former heavily R suburban seats reacted badly to Trump and became less so in 2016/2020 2) Plenty of heavily Hispanic (FL/TX) and northern blue-collar districts became much less reliably Dem — PolitiTweet.org

Peak polarization? For the first time in @CookPolitical PVI history, the number of "swing seats" (between D+5 and R+5) rebounded slightly, from 72 to 78 (it was 164/435 in 1997). https://t.co/LQAzBFX7Ts https://t.co/EtjSj0FvBc — PolitiTweet.org

On the other hand, 2020 also saw the fewest number of "crossover" districts in memory, with just 16/435 districts splitting their tickets for President/House. This number was 35 districts in 2016 and 108 in 1996. https://t.co/LQAzBFX7Ts https://t.co/avkWFfVvIh — PolitiTweet.org
