There's been a Black majority/plurality opportunity seat anchored by Jacksonville since 1992. The DeSantis map dismantles it, breaking with three decades of precedent. But given the current makeup of state/federal courts, don't expect the seat to be restored. — PolitiTweet.org

New: DeSantis-backed FL gerrymander that’s poised to stretch the state’s current 16R-11D breakdown to 20R-8D by eliminating North FL’s plurality Black #FL05 passes both chambers along party lines and heads to the governor for signature (h/t @MappingFL). https://t.co/GSuVzPm3iF — PolitiTweet.org

NY's top court (entirely made up of Dem appointees) indicating it will take up map case quickly. If there's any adverse ruling on the congressional lines, it would put Rs back "ahead" nationally in redistricting, given what's unfolding in FL. — PolitiTweet.org

A good dispatch by @sarahnferris and @nicholaswu12 on the midterm survival strategy of #VA07 Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D), who joined @CookPolitical's Toss Up column today. https://t.co/6RcD5Zb2K7 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NEW @CookPolitical House ratings: after today's changes, there are 27 Dem-held seats in Toss Up or worse, vs. just 12 GOP-held seats in Toss Up or worse. And, this disparity is certain to widen once FL/NH complete redistricting. https://t.co/mAdCOtLpRZ https://t.co/UJ4qBQh6tg — PolitiTweet.org

NEW at @CookPolitical: we've made eight House rating changes, all in Republicans' direction - including three Dem incumbents moving from Lean D to Toss Up. Full analysis: https://t.co/lbFUKvphY1 https://t.co/ASMEmKXIej — PolitiTweet.org

New: NY Judge Patrick McAllister has tapped Carnegie Mellon postdoctoral fellow Jonathan Cervas to draw a "standby" congressional map in case NY's highest court strikes down Dems' 22D-4R gerrymander (h/t @JeffWice). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New at @CookPolitical: in February, Dems were on track to net 4-5 seats in redistricting nationally. But after developments in FL/OH, new maps are shaping up to be a partisan wash (w/ far fewer competitive districts). https://t.co/SpcS5K3iMt https://t.co/qQuJ4D3xpM — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Right now, the median congressional district (#IL14) was Biden +2.4 in 2020, about 2 pts to the right of the nation as a whole. If FL passes the DeSantis map and NH/MO pass status quo maps, the median district (#NJ07) would be Biden +3.6, about 1 pt to the right of the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

FWIW, the 20R-8D DeSantis gerrymander would dilute the votes of Black communities in St. Petersburg, Orlando and North FL to benefit Rs in ways that previous courts have struck down. We’ll see what the new, more conservative FL Supreme Court (and possibly SCOTUS) say. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

If this 20R-8D FL map passes and withstands court challenges, it could net Republicans four additional seats, entirely wiping out Dems' national redistricting gains thus far. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Highly unusual move for House Dems' top Super PAC to take sides & spend in a primary for a considerably blue open seat, in this case for a crypto-backed candidate in the newly-drawn #OR06. https://t.co/xVOj2F1GYM — PolitiTweet.org

Two Dem open seats, #FL07 and #FL13, are already in severe jeopardy. But will DeSantis's push to dismantle Rep. Al Lawson's (D) plurality Black #FL05 pass court muster? Dems counting on FL Supreme Court or federal courts to step in. But neither looks like a reliable backstop. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

We weren't kidding when we wrote this in October. Now, with FL's GOP legislature poised to adopt something proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), Rs could replace 16R-11D w/ as lopsided as 20R-8D, wiping out Dems' national remap gains - if courts let them. https://t.co/VlAyzLgU28 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New @CookPolitical: although the likeliest outcome is still that Dems' NY map stands at least for 2022, the stakes are much higher here than in MD. Control of 3-4 seats is on the line. https://t.co/qev5w95bcW — PolitiTweet.org
