Big winners in CA commission's deliberations so far today: Reps. Darrell Issa (R) #CA50 and Sara Jacobs (D) #CA53, both of whom would get stronger seats than the first draft. — PolitiTweet.org

Hearing from some senior Dems who are furious at legislative leaders for taking #MD01 across the Bay but leaving blue Annapolis out of it. Also hearing from other Dems worried that drawing a safe 8D-0R plan would backfire w/ Maryland’s top court. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Maryland’s Dem legislature is on the verge of passing this fairly weak gerrymander, which would make Freedom Caucus Rep. Andy Harris’s (R) #MD01 more competitive but leave him the favorite for reelection. https://t.co/tyCTcFDTTA — PolitiTweet.org

It's not really about redistricting. We're at the point where it's more enticing/compelling (at least to this member) to helm a Trump media startup than the House Ways & Means Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Another member I’ll be watching in this respect: #CA50 Rep. Darrell Issa (R). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Not surprising, and I’d expect plenty of other members of both parties to head for the exits if their districts are slated for big changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The most meaningful change, both for Latino representation and politically, would be an overhaul of DFW. The lines there are truly mangled, it would be pretty easy to create an additional minority opportunity seat - and it'd have to come at the GOP's expense. We'll see. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The range of possible outcomes is pretty wide: a court-ordered interim map (best case for Dems), no change (best case for Rs) or something in between (e.g., Rep. Lizzie Fletcher's (D) #TX07 is converted to a Latino majority seat, #TX23 becomes slightly more Latino). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Nothing from today changes my TX priors. I do think Rs have a pretty straightforward argument w/ federal judges: they kept seats in question above 50% Latino (by citizen VAP), but Latino voters are no longer cohesively Dem enough to guarantee preferred candidates will win them. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

And, swapped out Dem Latinos for slightly more GOP Latinos, as is the case w/ #TX15 (which isn’t part of the complaint). — PolitiTweet.org

The question in SANTA FE is how much of Albuquerque is shifted into Rep. Yvette Herrell's (R) #NM02. Under one leading proposal, "Concept H," #NM02 would shift from Trump +12 (left) to Biden +2 (right), making her seat more competitive but not quite dooming her in 2022. https://t.co/MMSj0281fW — PolitiTweet.org

@SJGriego I'm still waking up, obviously. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

*Santa Fe, not Albuquerque. But the question is to what extent Dems are willing to unpack Albuquerque into #NM02 or add Annapolis into #MD01 to make those districts bluer. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

So far, to Republicans' relief, the gerrymander Maryland Dems advanced out of committee (below) isn't maximally aggressive. It would make #MD01 more competitive but would still likely leave Rep. Andy Harris (R) the favorite for reelection, at least in 2022. https://t.co/rWyDgbiDiE — PolitiTweet.org

The two states to watch this week: Maryland and New Mexico. We're about to find out how aggressive Dems in Annapolis/Albuquerque are willing to be to purge the last remaining GOP federal officeholders in each state. — PolitiTweet.org
