Not unexpected, but huge setback for GOP. Dems have potential to net 2-3 more seats out of a revised map. — PolitiTweet.org

Huge news in #NY24 and beyond, as the third of 10 Republicans who voted for impeachment retires. Katko is probably the only Republican who could hold the seat, especially if Dems redraw the district to be much bluer. — PolitiTweet.org

And, all that $$ is likely irrelevant now that #NJ03 has been redrawn from Trump +0.2 to Biden +14. District lines matter way more than money. — PolitiTweet.org

Hearing from a few PA sources throwing cold water on this story tonight. Just b/c the Dem-leaning PA Supreme Court has declined to intervene thus far, doesn’t mean they won’t after Wolf and the GOP legislature officially deadlock. https://t.co/9Dsu3yuCuz — PolitiTweet.org

Ohio's new language on the congressional side, that maps must not "unduly favor or disfavor" parties/incumbents, is a bit different from the language on legislative maps, which discusses proportionality. A neutral congressional might be more like 9-6 Trump (vs. 12-4 currently). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

In striking down OH's legislative maps, the court's majority ordered districts to be as proportional to the state's 54%-46% GOP lean as possible. If the same order applied to congressional, might translate into an 8-7 Trump map (far cry from GOP 11-4 map). https://t.co/fb4873FGt1 — PolitiTweet.org

Note that “the new congressional map” is not the most accurate description here. This is a GOP-backed proposal that would almost certainly be vetoed by Gov. Tom Wolf (D). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Republicans have been talking about targeting #GA02 Rep. Sanford Bishop (D) for years - the rural seat is still Biden +10 but has been trending right. Now they have a top recruit in West Point grad Jeremy Hunt. Likely Dem, but could get interesting. https://t.co/CCVqJlefDs — PolitiTweet.org

Not looking good at all for the Ohio GOP congressional map (still awaiting that ruling). Partisan control of 2-3 seats likely on the line. — PolitiTweet.org

Hollingsworth becomes the 12th GOP House member to not seek reelection (#IN09 is a safe GOP seat). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Worth noting: there would've been myriad ways for TN Rs to chop Nashville up so that every middle TN district would be Trump +20 or more. But this is probably the limit of what's acceptable to surrounding GOP incumbents - and there's little Dems can do to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

It looks like this GOP proposal flips #TN05 from Biden +24 to ~Trump +9 - likely close enough to be competitive by the end of the decade, but would be a likely GOP pickup in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

The biggest change from last decade's CT redistricting is that special master @Persily looks about 1-2 years older. Otherwise, no major changes likely. — PolitiTweet.org

Judging by the NC Supreme Court's 4D-3R majority and willingness to overrule a lower court on the election timeline, I wouldn't be surprised to see the GOP-drawn maps struck down on appeal. — PolitiTweet.org

We're expecting a ruling from NC's trial court in a matter of hours. But if the panel upholds the GOP's gerrymander, expect it to be appealed to the NC Supreme Court, which has a Dem majority. — PolitiTweet.org

As expected, the NY legislature's rejection of the commission's proposed congressional maps should ultimately clear the way for Dems to take over the process in February. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @amyewalter: Turns out that retirements are much more problematic for House Dems chances in 2022 than redistricting. — PolitiTweet.org

And there you have it: TN Republicans to unveil map splitting Nashville into multiple districts to dilute Dem votes. https://t.co/PEzfqxeOMl — PolitiTweet.org

I'm pretty skeptical #C07, a Biden +14 seat, will be competitive next fall. But Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D) becomes the 26th House Dem not seeking reelection. — PolitiTweet.org
