Pretty much every down-ballot R running in high-college suburbs ran ahead of Trump in 2020. No one knew who she was. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW at @CookPolitical: May moderate massacre? Primary alarm bells for multiple House incumbents. https://t.co/zGpjvNJMZD — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Per the @CookPolitical redistricting tracker, Republicans are now on track to net ~2.5 seats from redistricting alone, down from 3 seats before this ruling. https://t.co/kk9BwpObJv https://t.co/wp4hHJD1HV — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This would save #FL05 Rep. Al Lawson (D) and net Dems one seat vs. the DeSantis map. For now, pending appeal, @CookPolitical is shifting our FL redistricting outlook half a seat in Dems' direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NEW: FL circuit judge Layne Smith, a Scott/DeSantis appointee, strikes down North Florida portion of GOP congressional map that dismantles Rep. Al Lawson's (D) #FL05. This could save Dems one seat, moving map from 20R-8D to 19R-9D. Rs likely to appeal. — PolitiTweet.org

At a baseball game, so a little late but: Jim Pillen (R) wins the #NEGOV GOP primary, defeating Trump-endorsed Charles Herbster (R) and Brett Lindstrom (R). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

To my eye, looking like Jim Pillen’s (R) race to lose. Still lots of votes to count in his home base. #NEGOV — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Never underestimate the Trumpiness of the EDay vote. Still a long way to go in #NEGOV. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Herbster doing a little better with more Trump-aligned EDay votes reporting, but still not on track to win. #NEGOV — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

On the other hand, Trump-endorsed Charles Herbster (R) is on track to lose the #NEGOV GOP primary badly. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

I've seen enough: state Sen. Tony Vargas (D) wins the #NE02 Dem primary to face Rep. Don Bacon (R) in November. @CookPolitical rating: Likely R. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

When WV lost a district in the census, it was a guaranteed GOP loss. The question was whether it would lead to the loss of a pro-Trump R or a pro-certification R. Now we know it's the latter. #WV02 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

I've seen enough. Trump-endorsed Rep. Alex Mooney (R) defeats Rep. David McKinley (R) in the #WV02 GOP primary. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

More good news for Trump-endorsed Mooney (R): his vote share is increasing as more EDay votes trickle in from Wood, Monongalia, Taylor and Harrison counties. #WV02 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

First result from Mooney's territory (Jefferson Co., eastern panhandle) has Mooney (R) leading 69%-27%. McKinley (R) winning more modest margins on his home turf. #WV02 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Keep in mind that these are early votes, which theoretically should be less Trumpy than election day votes - which makes this result better for Mooney (R). #WV02 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

First result: McKinley (R) up 50%-39% in Wood Co. (Parkersburg), which is in McKinley's current #WV01. But I'd guess that's not good enough to prevail overall. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Polls now closed in WV. We're expecting Trump-endorsed Rep. Alex Mooney (R) to beat pro-infrastructure package Rep. David McKinley (R) in #WV02's showdown tonight, but the margin could tell us how much trouble other non-Trump Rs are in over the next few months. — PolitiTweet.org

New: Missouri House Rs introduce last-ditch attempt at a 6R-2D gerrymander to avert courts taking over the process and drawing a disadvantageous map. Legislature adjourns 5/13, and so far Rs have been unable to break stalemate. https://t.co/kwt7veOSbz — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Ohio Rs adopted the same approach: if the court strikes your first map down, come back w/ a watered-down version. Except, Ohio Rs had power to pass a second map and just ran out the clock on challenges. NY Dems are at the mercy of the court's special master, @CERVASJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

NY Democrats' remedial map "recommended" to the court-appointed special master is basically a watered-down version of their struck 22D-4R gerrymander. It would cede Rs a much better shot at #NY01, #NY18 and #NY19 - perhaps resulting in a 19D-7R split in 2022. https://t.co/JgN58rs8dz — PolitiTweet.org
