New: a “deal” map is circulating in the PA Senate that would turn Rep. Conor Lamb (D)’s seat red in exchange for giving state Sen. Sharif Street (D) a path to primarying #PA02 Rep. Brendan Boyle (D). But I have no idea why Gov. Tom Wolf (D) or other Dems would support it. https://t.co/hsQM4gpzEL — PolitiTweet.org

This GOP-selected map isn't likely to pass, and even if it were, would likely be vetoed by Gov. Tom Wolf (D). Odds still favor a court-drawn map in Pennsylvania. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Rep. Abigail Spanbeger's (D) only realistic option could be to move up to the new #VA07, turf she doesn't currently represent. But there are two Prince William Co. Dems who just lost statewide bids & might eye the new #VA07: Jennifer Carroll Foy & Hala Ayala. https://t.co/DZrE3QyuGf — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Like the current map, this map would be 7-4 Biden but 6-5 Youngkin. The main difference: #VA10 Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D) becomes a narrow Youngkin seat and Spanberger's #VA07, relocated to Prince William Co., becomes a McAuliffe seat. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This map would force Spanberger to move from the Richmond suburbs to Northern Virginia to keep a seat (the northern end of the current #VA07 is folded into Wexton's #VA10). And, Rep. Elaine Luria's (D) #VA02 gets redder by losing Norfolk. It moves from Biden +5 to +2. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

By the numbers, this might be a slightly better map for Dems than the current one (5D-4R-2C), but much better for Republicans than had Democrats retained redistricting power and drawn an 8D-3R gerrymander. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

New: Virginia special masters' map eliminates Abigail Spanberger's (D) current suburban Richmond #VA07 & turns it into a safe Dem seat in Northern Virginia. Rep. Elaine Luria's #VA02 would remain highly competitive, for a 6D-4R-1C split overall. https://t.co/2Q6JIutp88 — PolitiTweet.org

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

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

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

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
